explosive ordnance
Explosive ordnance refers to any device that uses an explosive to cause destruction, such as bombs, grenades, or landmines. These devices are designed to explode upon activation, releasing energy that can cause damage, injury, or death. They may be placed intentionally or accidentally and can pose serious hazards during conflicts or in areas with unexploded remnants. Explosive ordnance requires specialized disposal teams to safely identify, handle, and neutralize them to prevent harm to people and infrastructure.
