Three bombs go off on an average night in the Netherlands, blowing out windows and sometimes causing injury or death.

the blasts, usually caused by illegal fireworks with the strength of a grenade, have created a sense of unease.

The explosions have shaken communities across the Netherlands: In the first half of this year, the authorities recorded nearly 700 such bombings. The explosions cause fear, damage homes and livelihoods, and have occasionally led to deaths or injuries.

      Another Dutchy here, Russia has been suspected of both spionage and sabotage here and there also in The Netherlands but haven’t heard them being tied to any of these explosions. These explosions have been a problem for 10+ years. The amount of explosions has increased over time and the problem is only getting bigger. Russia might feel inspired or use this method to hide their involvement, but it in general those two problems have their own source.
