There's also:
'combat zone'
which I think is a more strictly military term.

Note from asker:
| Carol, thanks a lot! After I'm done with the job, I will check out all these links.. Just after I posted it, I suddenly thought of a war zone - I'm very glad to confirm it. English sometimes is so much simpler, compared to Polish, that I start to have doubts... ;) Oh, and it is a text about migration - war-torn lands sound perfect :) |
4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer.
Comment: " I'll make an exception and break the rule, granting the points now - don't think much more can be added.
But why such a low confidence level? ;)"
