An Improvised Explosive Device (IED) is a homemade bomb that is often used in conflicts and terrorist activities. These devices can be made from various materials and are designed to explode when triggered by a person or remotely. IEDs can vary in size and complexity, making them a significant threat in warfare and urban environments. IEDs are commonly used by non-state actors, such as insurgent groups, to target military personnel and civilians. They can be hidden in vehicles, buildings, or even buried underground, making them difficult to detect. The use of IEDs has led to increased security measures and counter-IED technologies in affected regions.
