X96: Assault by explosive material
Assault by explosive material refers to a group of conditions caused by intentional harm through the use of explosive materials. These injuries primarily affect the system of the body that was directly impacted by the material, and the severity of the condition can range from mild to life-threatening. Effects can vary widely, and can include symptoms such as pain, visible injury and damage to the body, shock, and even instant fatality in severe cases. Wounds may be in the form of burns, cuts, and shattered bones due to the direct force or the after effects of the explosion. Timely diagnosis and treatment can potentially limit the extent of injuries and improve prognosis. Psychological trauma is also a common result of such assaults.
