An explosion has occurred in an apartment in Örebro on Wednesday evening.
– Initial information is that it is some kind of battery for an electric scooter that has exploded. So we don’t suspect any crime at the moment, but that could of course change, says Gabriel Henning, press spokesperson at the police.
A fire broke out in connection with the explosion and there are shards of glass at the scene. One person has gotten out of the apartment, he is supposed to be awake and talkative, but otherwise the state of the damage is unclear.

Since Jimmie Åkesson’s wedding last weekend, it has emerged that the SD leader has had connections with the high-ranking MC leader Robert Hedarv.
Jimmie Åkessons himself claims that the two are only “superficially” acquainted, even though Robert Hedarv was invited to Jimmie Åkesson’s private parties.
