a war-torn country, city etc is being destroyed by war. Страна, раздираемая войной.

Depends on the context. 'A war-torn country' also may be 'a country that was parted between two or more other countries, which fought for it's territories'.

Yes, Stacy, you are correct: a country that has been torn (apart) by war. Every day we read in the newspapers about the sad situation in the war-torn country of S - - - -.

раздираемая войной --- это если предложение в прошедшем времени но в прошлом времени оно не будет "раздёртая" :)) нужно смотреть по тексту может быть как "страна, разделённая войной" так и "страна, разорённая войной"... зависит от того как они там что tear
