Here the hand grenade is carried away at Skälby in Västerås by the national bomb protection

Initially, a large area was cordoned off at Skälby. Several residential buildings, a school and streets fell within the cordons. Shortly after seven o’clock on Friday morning, the hand grenade detonated.

– The grenade was found in the residential area, but we cannot comment exactly where, says Magnus Jansson Klarin, press spokesperson at the police.

During Friday, a technical survey will be carried out on the site, after which the barriers can be removed completely. At the moment, traffic or accommodation is not affected.

In the clip above, the hand grenade has been defused and is being transported away by the National Bomb Squad.
