  1. area bombing

    Area bombing, also known as carpet bombing, is a type of bombing strategy used in warfare that aims to destroy a certain designated region rather than specific military or strategic targets. The bombs are dropped over a wide area with the intent to cause massive destruction, typically in populated areas. It often results in high civilian casualties and is considered a controversial military tactic due to its indiscriminate nature.
