Y35-Y36: Legal intervention and operations of war
The group of conditions captured under legal intervention and operations of war refers to physical injuries or death resulting from actions related to law enforcement or military engagements. The causes of these conditions typically involve the use of firearms, explosives, blunt force, sharp tools, or other violence-related means. The transmission of these conditions primarily relies on direct contact during conflict events. Common symptoms invariably depend on the nature and site of the injury but can include pain, bleeding, lacerations, bruises, fractures, burns, internal injuries, or a combination of these. Disease progression depends heavily on the severity of the injury and the speed and appropriateness of medical intervention. Affected systems can range from surface wounds to injuries to vital organs, and in severe cases, the conditions may result in death.
