It captures the unique circumstances of a civilian being harmed by an explosive device used in a maritime terrorism attack.

Apply this code when a patient presents with injuries directly attributable to a terrorist explosion of marine weapons, such as mines or torpedoes, and the patient is a civilian. This would be used for the initial medical encounter following such an event, for example, in an emergency department or initial inpatient admission. It is crucial for tracking the specific cause and context of the injury.

• Ensure the patient is explicitly documented as a civilian and the injury is a direct result of a terrorist act involving marine explosives.
• Verify this is the initial encounter for the specific injury sustained from this event; subsequent encounters would use a different seventh character.
• Always code the specific injury(ies) first, followed by this external cause code.
