👉 A disaster weapon, also known as a weapon of mass destruction (WMD), is a type of weapon designed to cause extensive harm or death over a wide geographic area. These weapons can include chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) agents, as well as conventional weapons like cruise missiles or artillery capable of devastating large populations. The primary goal of a disaster weapon is to inflict catastrophic damage, often leading to mass casualties and long-term environmental or societal disruption. The development, possession, and potential use of such weapons are heavily regulated by international treaties and conventions to prevent their proliferation and ensure global security.
