Y36.2: War operations involving other explosions and fragments
War operations involving other explosions and fragments (Y36.2) refer to injuries, disorders, or conditions incurred during military activities, specifically those caused by different types of explosions and explosive fragments not classified elsewhere. Exposure to these explosions can lead to a broad array of physical damage, largely depending on the nature of the explosion, the proximity of the individual, and the protection they are wearing during the incident. Common conditions include, but are not limited to, burns, lacerations, fractures, internal injuries, hearing loss, and psychological trauma such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Outcomes and severity of these conditions vary greatly based on the unique circumstances of each incident and the specific types of injuries incurred. This category does not specify the type of fragment or explosive device involved.
