It’s hard to know how to react because the article doesn’t give any historical rates of these residential explosions. Residential explosions could actually be down for all we know.


From the article:

> In 2022, there were 90 explosions and 101 cases of attempted bombings or preparations for bombings in Sweden, according to police data. As of 15 August this year, 109 explosions had been recorded.


it would be interesting to go back a few years to see how Sweden has changed. Has there been a huge increase in crimes in the last 10 years or so?.


Gun violence and these explosions have been going up quite a bit last few years at least. Anecdotal (Sweden here) people in my closest circle feel a lot less safe, and less comfortable in public spaces, compared to a few years ago. Not to a huge extent, but noticeable.


Wait, is that question serious or you are really prentending you don't know what "changed" in Sweden, or in another European countries, over the past 10 or 20 years :-) ?!


More than 100 so far this year in Sweden and over 100 last year.


4 in one hour happens all the time.


very many

not a new problem

but an increasing problem

through most times targeting property and no people damage


It's a rather recent problem, as noted by tfa.


if it's very new why was my swedish coworker from a few years ago going on and on about the government still but having gotten that problem under control even after years

through he was also speaking about self build pipe bombs instead of imported hand grenades

through I might be missing something
