landmine field
A landmine field is an area contaminated with explosive devices called landmines, which are buried just below the surface. These devices are designed to detonate when triggered by pressure, movement, or proximity, making the area dangerous for anyone entering. Landmines are often used in warfare to control territories or prevent movement, but they pose long-lasting threats to civilians. Removing them requires careful, specialized clearance to ensure safety, as even many years later, landmines can still cause injury or death. They are a significant humanitarian concern, hindering development and safe travel in affected regions.
