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.
I disagree, even though this is illegal fireworks they are manipulated to do damage and intimidate people. The recent laws banning a lot of firework has to do with how it is used by criminals, not the other way around.
