What is another word for ground mine?
Pronunciation: [ɡɹˈa͡ʊnd mˈa͡ɪn] (IPA) 
A ground mine is a type of explosive device that is buried underground and detonated by pressure or proximity. Synonyms for ground mine include landmine, buried explosive, anti-personnel mine, and booby trap. These devices are commonly used in warfare and conflict areas, where they can cause devastating injuries and fatalities to unsuspecting civilians and military personnel.
