HELSINKI (Reuters) - Finland is developing a remotely-detonated mine designed to deter enemies with its "horror", the country's defence minister said on Thursday, referring to a device that springs into the air and fires projectiles at its target when triggered.
Defence Minister Jussi Niinisto said the defence forces were developing the so-called bounding mine to replace landmines banned by a 1999 international treaty. Its main targets would be soldiers and vehicles.
