How many is a lot
The objects that hit the Moon could be labeled a projectile, but not a bomb as they did not contain any explosives as far as I am aware.
The terminology used is a mute, and as we astronomers know some of the media are prompted to hyper up something to get attention
That the world will get upset because NASA or any other organization hits the Moon with a Bomb/projectile is a little far fetched
Most people could not give a damn and where just disappointed that there wasn't anything seen
The Moon has lots of junk that has been deliberately slammed into it over the years with little or no comment
