Landuse is defined as: Mainly used for describe the primary use of land by humans.

They could be classified under landuse=military however….

I could argue that the main goal of a minefield would be to prevent the movement or use by humans.

I am going to argue that

Hazard is a proposed feature that could provide more depth.

I am also new to openstreetmap and so a more seasoned individual would be able to offer more valuable insight.

Thank you @Hedaja. It seems like the area is lacking in tagging.

Its something for either individuals with local knowledge or NGOs with databases.

For example the UNDP in Bosnia UNDP in Bosnia issued a series of maps showing flooding and mines from the series of floods in the area.

Unexploded ordinances are also a factor as well.

The question is whether such features should be mapped on openstreetmap or kept in a separate database that can be overlaid on top of openstreetmap when needed.
