A total of 83 explosions occurred in Russia in 2022, the largest yearly number of explosions in the last 10 years, a record number of people were injured in these explosions. Journalists link these explosions with the war in Ukraine. Vestka, a Russian media outlet, reported this, citing a ministry of emergency situation of the Russian Federation report, according to the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations in 2022, Russia saw 83 explosions which killed 55 people and injured another 10,647. Explosions occurred in residential buildings, storage facilities and mines. The Crimea Bridge explosion was also included in the account. The most common cause of explosions in 2022 was an explosive device bomb, rocket, mine, grenade. Explosions caused by explosive devices accounted for 55 out of 83 cases. The increase in the number of explosions in 2022 is therefore directly related to hostilities in Ukraine. Vestka reported that the yearly number of explosions in Russia has not exceeded 20 in the past 10 years despite terrorist attacks and gas leaks in residential buildings. The number of casualties was in the hundreds rather than the thousands. The highest number of casualties before 2022 was seen in 2017 when a terrorist attack in the St. Petersburg subway took place and a gas leak caused a nine-story building in Izhevsk to explode.
