空爆

1. Origins, structure, and basic meaning

• Structure: 空爆 (くうばく) is a noun for aerial bombardment. The examples use object-marking を with escape and causal で with a passive result.
• Basic usage: Residents 空爆を逃れる, while 空爆で通信を断たれた makes the bombing the cause of lost communications.

2. Common pitfalls and similar expressions

• Bombing escaped and bombing causing damage
  • 空爆を falls within the complement of 逃れる; 空爆で supplies the cause in a passive clause. The bombing is not a human agent in the second construction.
