Article 117Detonating of Explosives

第百十七条(激発物破裂)

A person who damages the object prescribed in Article 108 or the object prescribed in Article 109 which belongs to another person by detonating gunpowder, a steam-boiler or other explosive objects is dealt with in the same manner as in the case of committing arson. The same also applies to a person who damages the object prescribed in Article 109 which belongs to the person or the object prescribed in Article 110 and thereby endangers the public.

火薬、ボイラーその他の激発すべき物を破裂させて、第百八条に規定する物又は他人の所有に係る第百九条に規定する物を損壊した者は、放火の例による。第百九条に規定する物であって自己の所有に係るもの又は第百十条に規定する物を損壊し、よって公共の危険を生じさせた者も、同様とする。

When an act provided for in the preceding paragraph is caused through negligence, it is dealt with in the same manner as in the case of fire caused through negligence.
