An explosion occurred in a stairwell in Helsingborg during the night of Saturday.
– There is relatively large material damage, but no personal injuries, says Magnus Lefèvre, officer on duty at the police.
The police received several alarm calls about loud explosions in Helsingborg at 03.45. At the scene, the police could determine that a detonation had taken place.
There is relatively large material damage, but no personal injuries, says Magnus Lefèvre, officer on duty at the police.
Right now there are relatively large cordons and we are waiting for the national bomb protection and our technicians to clarify what exploded, says Lefèvre at 05:00.
At 7 o’clock, the national bomb disposal and police technicians had left the scene. What exploded is still unclear.
The residents of the house were asked to remain in their apartments while the police worked on the scene.
There will be a more extensive analysis going forward, says police spokesperson Sara Andersson.
The incident is classified as gross devastation that is dangerous to the general public. No one is suspected or arrested in the case. The police are now working with mapping and to investigate whether there is a threat image against any person at the address.
We work with witness interviews, says Magnus Lefèvre.
