  • Two suspected bombs in Stockholm

    On Wednesday evening, the police conducted two separate operations in the Stockholm area after the discovery of suspected bombs.

    The first was found in Tensta at 20.45.

    – It is an object in an apartment building, but not inside an apartment. We cannot rule out that it is dangerous, says Sofia Jiglind, press spokesperson at the police’s regional command center.

    A preliminary investigation into preparation for public destruction and violation of the Act on Explosive and Flammable Goods has been initiated.

    The second suspected bomb was found in Järfälla at 21:49. There, the police have not yet set any criminal classification.

    – That object is outside. We have blocked off and have a larger effort in the area, says Sofia Jiglind.

    Bomb technicians will examine both objects.

    The police are investigating possible connections between the findings.

    The Swiss alpine village of Brienz is being evacuated, TT reports.

    The reason is that two million cubic meters of rock are at risk of collapsing and devastating society.

    The centuries-old village is located in the Graubunden region, southwest of Davos, at an altitude of approximately 1,150 meters above sea level. The number of residents today amounts to just under 100 people, writes TT.

  • Why does Russia celebrate a Victory Day from 1945? The Russian Federation was formed in 1991 and has nothing to do with WWII. At the time, Russia was only a state in the Soviet Union.

    bo5j

    Victory Day began to be celebrated in Russia after the fall of Nazi Germany in 1945. In fact, after the fall of the Soviet Union, the parades stopped for a while. But in 1995 the celebration was resumed again.

  • Danny Saucedo isn’t making his acting debut now is he? Wasn’t he in Evil?

    Ninna

    Entirely correct! He was an extra in the fight scene in Ondskan.

    However, he himself says that “Scenes from a Marriage” is his acting debut. Maybe he himself makes a difference between extras and acting?

    Regardless – well done Ninna!

  • Which party in Sweden is the 9th largest?

    Lisbeth

    Hello!

    The largest party outside the Riksdag, i.e. the ninth largest party, is the Nyans party. They received 28,352 votes, which is equivalent to 0.44 percent of the turnout in the 2022 election.

    In the 2018 and 2014 elections, the Feminist initiative was the largest, but they have retreated significantly and were in this election at 0.05 percent.

  • Why is the headline “Russia: Residents forcibly evacuated from Zaporizhzhya” !? Zaporizhzhya and Europe’s largest nuclear power plant is in Ukraine NOT Russia. Despite occupation and annexation, as far as I know, almost no one except Russia itself recognizes the region as Russian.

    STEFAN SENNERGREN

    Hi Stefan! In this case, “Russia” should be read as the Russian side in the war, who are the ones who decided on the forced evacuation. It does not imply recognition of the areas as Russian.
