An explosion has occurred at a restaurant near Brottsta in Eskilstuna. No one is said to have been injured in connection with the incident.
– Something has exploded in connection with a restaurant entrance, Torbjörn Lindqvist, officer on duty at the police, tells TT.
The alarm came in just after 03:00 on Tuesday night. No one was in the building at the time.
– What I have gathered is about broken windows, says Lindqvist and continues:
– The restaurant is located in an industrial area, or equivalent. So there are no homes nearby that are affected.
A larger area has been cordoned off and the national bomb shelter is on its way.
– We do checks on people, but whether someone is deprived of liberty or not is a bit early to go into, says Torbjörn Lindqvist.
