How are people injured or killed by landmines?

Answer 1

Landmines blow up when a certain amount of pressure is put on the landmine. Once this pressure is taken off, the landmine will blow up badly injuring them or even killing them.

Answer 2

People are injured or killed by landmines when they accidentally step on or disturb them, triggering the explosion. The blast typically inflicts severe injuries such as loss of limbs, internal injuries, and burns, leading to death in some cases. The indiscriminate nature of landmines means that they pose a threat to civilians long after conflicts have ended.
