Land mines are explosive devices placed on or under the ground, or thrown or scattered, that detonate when a person or vehicle disturbs them or when they are fired remotely. A weapon belongs here when the infobox of its cited article names it a mine, including bounding and directional fragmentation anti-personnel mines. It excludes grenades and naval mines. Weapons in this group are placed by what their own cited article states, so a visitor browsing land mines sees only systems whose sources name that role, and can compare them across eras, makers and the forces that used them.
