How do landmines work?

### REPLY:
Landmines work by utilizing pressure or tripwire mechanisms to initiate an explosion. These mechanisms are triggered when someone steps on or interacts with the mine, causing it to detonate. The explosion releases shrapnel and explosive forces, inflicting devastating injuries on victims in the vicinity. Some landmines are even designed to be remotely triggered, allowing the attacker to control the detonation from a safe distance.
