urban warfare
Urban warfare refers to military operations conducted in urban environments, such as cities and towns. This type of warfare often involves close-quarters combat, where soldiers navigate through buildings, streets, and other structures. The complexity of urban landscapes can create challenges for both attackers and defenders, making tactics and strategies crucial for success.
In urban warfare, civilians are often caught in the crossfire, leading to significant humanitarian concerns. The presence of infrastructure, like roads, bridges, and public transport, can influence military movements and logistics. Additionally, urban areas may provide cover and concealment for combatants, complicating reconnaissance and targeting efforts.
