The aftermath of the bomb at DS9's school

The Ansata bomb on the warp core of the Enterprise-D

A bomb was an explosive weapon.

Aircraft designed to drop bombs onto ground targets were known as bombers. (ENT: "Storm Front, Part II", "In a Mirror, Darkly")

In 2154, a bomb exploded in the United Earth Embassy on Vulcan, killing 43 people. (ENT: "The Forge")

Bombs could be used as a terrorist weapon. During the Cardassian Occupation of Bajor, the Shakaar resistance cell bombed the home of Gul Pirak. (DS9: "The Darkness and the Light") When the USS Enterprise-D visited Rutia IV in 2366, Ansata separatists detonated a bomb in a plaza next to the restaurant where Data, Worf, and Beverly Crusher were eating lunch. (TNG: "The High Ground")

Bombs could also be implanted within a humanoid body, and detonating it would be an act of suicide. The Sonchi ceremony following the death of Klingon Chancellor K'mpec was disrupted when a bomb using a Romulan molecular decay detonator implanted in the body of one of Duras' men exploded. (TNG: "Reunion") As part of an elaborate effort to capture the USS Voyager, a Kazon-Nistrim agent aboard the ship detonated a bomb implanted in his body at a critical moment, allowing Seska and the Kazon to overpower the ship's defenses. (VOY: "Basics, Part I")

Since he was a Kazon-Nistrim working with Seska, Tierna's toenail bomb could have been of either Kazon or Cardassian design.

In 2369, the school aboard Deep Space 9 exploded because of a bomb. Constable Odo later mentioned that it was a simple, homemade bomb made from cabrodine and infernite two explosive materials. (DS9: "In the Hands of the Prophets")

In 2372, the Dominion exploded a bomb at the Antwerp Conference on Earth, killing 27 people in the first Dominion attack on Earth and the worst such attack on the planet in over a century. (DS9: "Homefront")

As part of her group's resistance against the occupation of Deep Space 9 by the Dominion, Kira Nerys said that she would smuggle a bomb into the space station's main computer to shut down the entire station. She claimed the bomb would be "crude, but effective". She and her group, however, were detained by Damar before she could accomplish her goal. (DS9: "Sacrifice of Angels")

A bomb could be jury-rigged as long as there was an explosive substance and a means of controlling its detonation. Jean-Luc Picard effectively turned a canister of highly volatile trilithium resin into a bomb by removing the canister's stabilizer rod. (TNG: "Starship Mine")
