An explosion has occurred at a gate in a five-story residential building in Åkersberga north of Stockholm.
– We received several calls from the area about a loud bang. When we arrive, it turns out that the gate is blown up, says Oscar Davila, management operator at rescue center Mitt.
At five o’clock in the morning, the police have an ongoing operation in the area, among other things to gather information.
– We have a helicopter, dog patrol and other skills out there. Our bomb protection is also coming to the scene, says Westberg.
No one is said to have been injured in the explosion, but it caused extensive damage to the apartment building’s gate.
According to Westberg, no suspect has yet been arrested and it is too early to say whether the detonation has any connection to previous serious crimes or conflicts between criminals.
