What is the difference between a "bombing" and a "bombing spree"? What does the word "spree" add to the meaning? Thank you :)

Adding the word spree here means that it's not just a one-off bombing but it's like a series of bombings. The bomber is going crazy and is bombing places one after the other. This word is used often in the corporate world when a businessman is buying or acquiring new businesses. We say he is on a shopping spree.
