Pae Street Bombing
The 2005 explosion on Pae Street brought violence close to homes in Tallinn’s Lasnamäe district.
The Pae Street incident belongs to the city’s recent history of bomb attacks. Violence in a residential area affected the sense of safety far beyond the immediate scene. Details about casualties, the device and responsibility must come from court records or reliable reporting rather than later rumours. Pae Street is primarily the home of its residents today; recounting the event should not turn their neighbourhood into a spectacle.
