THREE NEWS YOU CAN’T MISS

Typhoon Shanshan dumps record rain as storm moves across Japan.
The storm is one of the strongest to hit the country in decades.
Five million people have been told to evacuate and thousands of households are without power. The rainfall and strong winds have caused several deaths and extensive damage to infrastructure.
Around 80 people were injured, most of them with minor injuries from broken glass, as the typhoon’s winds smashed windows and ripped bricks from roofs on Kyushu, the southernmost of Japan’s four major islands.
Flooding has also caused traffic chaos, with blocked roads and landslide warnings. Hundreds of domestic flights have been cancelled, as has the Shinkansen high-speed train between Tokyo and Osaka.
Climate change has led to typhoons forming closer to the region’s coastlines and intensifying faster, according to a study published in July.
Right now there is a fire in an apartment building in Gustavsberg.
– It is a multi-family building with a fire in an apartment that has spread to the attic, says Henrik Jynnesjö, commanding officer of the rescue service in Stockholm.
The alarm came in at 06.35. The police say that one person is slightly injured. According to the emergency services, no one is left in the affected apartment.
– It started on the third floor and spread up to the attic. The house has three floors. We are working to limit the spread, it should stay there and not get worse, says Henrik Jynnesjö.
During the night, the police in Västra Götaland investigated three raids on several pizzerias around the city.
At 23.35 the first alarm came – two people had broken into a pizzeria in Billdal outside Gothenburg. The police searched the place for thieves without success.
Five hours later, at 04.22, the next alarm came. Someone had smashed a window to a pizzeria in Guldheden. The thieves managed to get away from the scene, whether they took anything with them is unclear.
05.12 further boxes have been smashed, this time Albert pizzeria on Orustgatan and Majornas Matfabrik.
“The police will of course look into whether there is a connection between the three break-ins at the pizzerias,” the police write on their website.
After yesterday’s thunderstorms, yellow warnings continue on Friday. SMHI’s warning began at 04:00 in the morning and continues until 12:00.
The warnings apply to Östra Svealand.
On its website, SMHI states that there is a risk of floods and disruptions in the electricity supply.

Emergency services and police were alerted at 02.38 about an explosion outdoors on Bergsgatan in central Malmö.
– Quite a lot of people have called about a loud bang, says the officer on duty at the rescue service.
The police confirm that a detonation has occurred at an outdoor dining area and restaurant.
– There is minor damage to the windows. The national bomb protection is in place, says Marie Kreismar, duty officer at the police.
According to Sydsvenskan the explosion is suspected to have been caused by a hand grenade. Later, the cordon was extended, which according to the newspaper was due to another sharp hand grenade being found on site.
It is to be detonated in a controlled manner in the morning – similar to the two hand grenades that were found at Rosengård during Thursday evening.
At 5:16 a.m., the second dangerous object had been detonated by the National Bomb Squad, the police write.
A fire broke out in a train locomotive in the port of Gothenburg during the night towards Friday. The emergency services were alerted at 00:36 and began an operation to disconnect the locomotive from the goods wagons.
– The locomotive smokes a bit from the chimney. We will move it to a place where there are no power lines above, says Gunnar Skaven, alarm and line operator at the rescue service.
More than 6,000 subscribers were affected by a power outage in Gävle since 22:20 on Thursday evening.
By 00:30, most people had their electricity restored, according to operating information from Gävle energy.
The prison in Gävle suffered a power outage and, according to the Prison Service’s press service, switched to “manual routines”.
