Mines are often placed by borders as a means of defense to deter or prevent unauthorized crossing. They serve as a barrier to entry and can help protect the territory from intruders or potential threats. However, the use of mines is regulated under international law due to their indiscriminate and long-lasting impact, causing harm to civilians long after conflicts have ended.
