A war zone is an area of conflict, usually involving two or more countries or groups. The term 'war zone' can refer to a specific geographic region, such as Iraq (4 letters), which has been the site of numerous wars and conflicts over the years. It can also refer to a particular ARENA (5 letters) of conflict, such as a battlefield or a political or economic SECTOR (6 letters). In any case, a war zone is a place where violence and destruction are commonplace.
