Explosion at shop in Malmö

The police were alerted shortly after 02:30 on Friday night. There are suspicions that something may have been thrown into the store.

– The police officers on the spot are met by quite a lot of broken glass on the outside of the store, which indicates that there may have been an explosion on the inside, says Thomas Paulsson.

No one physically injured

A small fire broke out in connection with the explosion, which has now been extinguished. No injuries have been reported in connection with the incident.

– Everything indicates that the store was empty.

It is unclear what caused the explosion. No one has been arrested at this time.

– There is no extensive fire and no extensive damage, says Thomas Paulsson.

Technical examination

The site is now cordoned off pending a technical investigation.

– We are also trying to look for witnesses, but there is a limited number of people who are up and walking at half past three in the morning. We need to get a better picture of what happened, says Thomas Paulsson.
