It is shocking to me how many explosions Sweden has. They had about 90 in 2022 and they were already at 109 before the end of August this year! Basically one gang or another is blowing something up every 2-3 days!

Edit: 124 bombings as of September 15th.

This statistic had never occurred to me before, so I looked up the US.

In 2019, 14,940 explosive related incidents which include 715 explosions of which 251 were bombings.
