Bombard is a Missile Attack.

The definition of bombard is to strike or batter repeatedly or vigorously. In warfare, the term is applied to an offensive tactic in which an attacking force fires salvos of missiles at a target.

Bombardment is an old military tactic. The ancient Greeks used it to pulverize their enemies' walls by hurling stones and other missiles at them. The Romans later developed cannons that could fire large numbers of projectiles very quickly.
