The 2023 Addleview bombings were a series of bombings in Addleview, Redeemer's Land, Zamastan, carried out by Nikolaj Sune-Miklos from August 18th to September 5th, 2023. The first and deadliest attack, which occured on August 18th, was a car bombing which targeted the offices of the Addleview Herald newspaper. The explosion destroyed the facade of the building and adjacent structures, killing 6 people and injuring more than 100. Along with the first bombing, a letter sent to the Herald described the bomber's manifesto, which revealed a deep hatred for the federal government and declared a campaign against anyone the perpetrator considered to be associated with the government. The next bombing on August 23rd was an accidental premature detonation of a package bomb as it was being handled in a post office, resulting in the death of a postal worker and dozens of injuries. A bomb was also discovered at the Selterbury Memorial Hospital that day, but it was disarmed. A week later on August 31st, a bomb was discovered and disarmed aboard a commuter bus. The final bomb exploded on September 5th aboard a commuter bus, killing two people and injuring dozens more.

Shortly after the September 5th bombing, authorities were able to determine the identity of the bomber, 34-year-old Nikolaj Sune-Miklos, from security footage on board the bus. A massive manhunt ensued, involving local police, provincial rangers, and federal law enforcement including the ZIS. On September 14th, police located Sune-Miklos hiding in a makeshift shelter in Moule Hills Provincial Park, and he was arrested. Sune-Miklos was charged with 8 counts of murder, one count of third-degree manslaughter, and hundreds of counts of attempted murder, all of which he pleaded guilty to.
