English term or phrase: booby trap
El contexto es un artículo sobre la guerra de Chechenia. Encontré la definición en inglés para este término del ámbito militar, pero no conozco el equivalente en castellano (por lo menos, no el que se usa en el área):
"An explosive or non explosive device or other material, deliberately placed to cause casualties when an apparently harmless object is disturbed or a normally safe act is performed". Gracias.

Explanation:
Pese a que en la definición que proporcionas se habla de "explosive or non-explosive", en mi opinión la traducción correcta es "trampa explosiva", sobre todo en el contexto de una guerra como la de Chechenia.

Te adjunto un par de vínculos.

Un saludo.

trampa o bomba


Explanation:
If it is exclusively explosive than use "bomba trampa". If not, simply use "trampa", which includes explosive and non explosive traps.

As found in the Oxford Spanish/English Dictionary and used in the military.

Good Luck
