Villa on fire in Ängelholm: “Totally engulfed”

today at 23.34 Annica Ögren

Police, emergency services and ambulance services have been alerted to a fire in a villa in Ängelholm, after a caller saw heavy smoke coming from the property.

– When we arrived at the scene, the property was completely engulfed in flames, says Tobias Aldgård, officer on duty at the Skåne Nordväst rescue service.

It is still too hot to enter the building and the fire service will let the villa burn down.

There are no reports of injuries.

– There is daily activity in the property, so there should not have been any people there, from what we have received information about, says Tobias Aldgård.

The rescue service estimates that the extinguishing work will be completed around 02.00.

The alarm came in at 10:47 p.m.

    Opposition leader Svetlana Tichanovskaya has today been sentenced to 15 years in prison in her absence, Reuters reports.

    The sentence comes from a court in Minsk, which believes that Svetlana Tichanovskaja was guilty of treason and “conspiracy to seize power”, a sentence which, according to her, is a punishment for her efforts to promote democracy in the country.

    It was in 2020 that Svetlana Tichanovskaya ran in the Belarusian presidential election against Aleksandr Lukashenko.

    Tikhanovskaya was considered to have won the election, but instead Lukashenko was named president and the next day Tikhanovskaya was forced to flee the country.

    Since then she lives in exile.

  • Equal flamingos play best

    It becomes a like-minded friend if the flamingo himself gets to choose.

    When researchers took a closer look at the pink bird, it turns out that it turns to those with a similar personality, TT reports.

    Flamingos hang out in smaller groups of friends, where more aggressive birds seek each other out and those of a more submissive nature spend more time together.

    The researchers, whose results are published in Scientific Reports, saw that the more aggressive individuals often got into fights with each other and spent more time trying to dominate each other.

    Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has fired several high-ranking employees of the Ukrainian security service. This is reported by the Ukrainian TV channel TCH.

    Zelenskyi has also appointed two people as replacements.

    According to TCH, the dismissals are part of the “great purge” within the Ukrainian state structure that affects the security services as well as state customs officials, the Ministry of Defense, state tax authorities and the police.

  • Several dead after landslide

    About ten people have died after a landslide on the Indonesian island of Serasan in the South China Sea, several news agencies report.

    Several buildings have been destroyed and around 50 people are still missing.

    – Many people who need help have not been able to be reached because we still have difficulty getting to the affected areas, says Abdul Mahari, spokesperson for Indonesia’s state emergency agency.

    Normally it takes about five hours to reach the islands by boat, due to the weather it is taking longer now.

  • No investigation into work environment violations after Löfving’s death

    Prosecutors have decided not to initiate a preliminary investigation into work environment violations in connection with the death of police chief Mats Löving in February.

    – In order for a preliminary investigation to be initiated, there must be reason to assume that a crime that falls under general prosecution has occurred, says Per Nichols, chief prosecutor at the Special Prosecutor’s Chamber in a press release.

    Nichols says, among other things, that there were not enough circumstances to suggest a crime.

    – Which in itself is of course an extremely tragic event, he says.
