Sweden is grappling with an alarming wave of violence, with over 30 explosions reported in January alone.

Authorities reveal that many incidents are linked to extortion schemes targeting businesses, while others stem from a growing "criminal ecosystem" offering violence for hire.

Police have arrested 50 individuals and seized large quantities of weapons and explosives, but the situation remains dire.

Stockholm has been particularly affected, with a dramatic rise in young offenders under 15 years old.

Justice Minister Gunnar Strömmer has called an emergency meeting to address what he describes as "our society's greatest ongoing failure.

" Officials urge parents to monitor children's behavior and online activities to prevent their involvement in crime.

The government is intensifying efforts to combat organized crime, including expanded surveillance powers and longer prison sentences.
