• Source: Explosive mine

      • A mine is an explosive placed underground or underwater that explodes when disturbed, or when remotely triggered. The term originated from the use of mining to go under the enemy's city walls.
      Mines, unlike bombs, are placed in situ and then require some other stimulus from a target before they will detonate.
