Its unfortunate that noncombatants are killed during wars. But some countries target civilians, adult and children, intentionally. Besides the Russian-made PFM-1, "toy-mine", Does anyone know of anything other mines designed to kill children.

check out the Russian-made PFM-1, we have found them in Afghanistan. They are in Chechnya also according to reports. They are air dropped. The wings keep them from being damaged when they hit the ground. Most are painted like toys. When a child picks them up and try to fly them they don't fly well. When you try and adjust the wings they explode. In Chechnya alone over 150 children have been injuried or killed by them.
