A disturbing video circulating online shows a bomb exploding outside a house in Limerick city, Ireland. The incident has heightened concerns about an escalating violent feud between rival groups, prompting increased Garda patrols and appeals for information from the public. No injuries were reported in this latest attack, but the ongoing violence has resulted in numerous shootings, stabbings, and other attacks in recent months.

A video circulating on social media has sparked grave concern among Irish authorities as it depicts a bomb explosion outside a residence in Limerick city. The footage, showing a male igniting a fuse and tossing the explosive device over a wall into a backyard, captures the detonation with a thunderous bang and blinding light. Seconds before the blast, an individual on what appears to be an electric bicycle or motorized scooter can be seen fleeing the scene.

This latest incident adds fuel to an escalating violent feud between rival groups in Limerick, raising fears that lives will be lost. Garda sources reveal that senior law enforcement officials are deeply worried about the escalating violence and have increased armed patrols in sensitive areas of the city in an attempt to quell the tensions. While no injuries were reported in last Sunday's bombing, the recent feuding has resulted in numerous shootings, stabbings, and attacks involving car bombs and petrol bombs over the past year and a half. Several individuals have been brought before the courts in connection with these incidents. Gardaí have stated that their investigation into the bomb blast is ongoing.Chief Superintendent Derek Smart, Limerick's top Garda, expressed grave concerns last October that children could be injured or worse in the ongoing violence. Smart emphasized that the attacks are not random and are specifically targeted, noting that children have been present at the scenes of previous attacks. He urged anyone with information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, to contact the authorities. The Gardaí have been granted search warrants to raid properties across the city in recent weeks and months, resulting in the seizure of drugs, weapons, and cash.Sinn Féin TD Maurice Quinlivan, who serves on the city and county's joint policing committee, warned late last year that lives would be lost unless Gardaí responded with a forceful approach. Quinlivan pointed out that these incidents are plaguing working communities where the majority of people desire peace and stability. He highlighted the lack of Garda presence in these areas and the long-standing absence of community Gardaí. Quinlivan stressed that if the cycle of firebomb attacks continues, it is inevitable that lives will be lost
