Nowadays, the emergence of long-range weapons has extended the fighting from the borders to the depth of territories, that is, urban and rural areas, and the traditional boundary between the front and nonfront areas has faded away. In such a situation, in case of enemy attack, citizens behind the front will face as many risks as the soldiers on the battlefield will.
