Bombardments refer to the intense and sustained attacks on a specific target using artillery, bombs, or missiles. This military tactic aims to destroy or incapacitate enemy positions, infrastructure, or forces. Bombardments can occur in various contexts, including during wars or conflicts, and can involve both ground and aerial assaults. Historically, bombardments have played significant roles in battles and sieges, impacting civilian populations and military strategies. Notable examples include the Blitz during World War II and the Siege of Leningrad. The effects of bombardments can lead to widespread destruction and loss of life, raising ethical concerns about their use in warfare.
