It seems Switzerland has bombs lying around all over the place after the army this week acknowledged that since 2022, there has been a 12% increase in civilians finding explosives in the Swiss countryside. Much of this increase is due to the glaciers receding as a result of climate change.
Ecuador seems to be a nice place to visit this time of year, with its Amazon jungle, Andean highlands, wildlife-rich Galápagos Islands, and guys loitering in the streets with explosives strapped to their bodies.
Police found more than they bargained for when they searched a vehicle in Khayelitsha. Really guys, signal jamming is so last month.

I once saw soccer hooligans throw a scooter onto the pitch. This, however, takes it to a shocking new level! A live explosive was thrown onto the pitch yesterday during an Asian Champions League quarterfinal match in Iran. This footage shows midfielder, Adel Kolahkaj, spot the object during a break in play.

Miraculously, no uncomfortable puns about nudity and bombs were involved.
