Four people have drowned, including two small boys, in a boat accident off the Greek island of Kos, the country’s coast guard said late Tuesday. The other two deceased are supposed to be women.

27 people were rescued, one of whom was arrested on suspicion of being a smuggler. The accident must have occurred in mild weather, according to the Greek Coast Guard.

Accidents involving migrants regularly occur off the coast of Greece, one of the main countries for migrants trying to escape poverty or war to enter the EU.

The person has now been taken to hospital by ambulance. There is no information on the state of the damage.

The incident is being investigated as aggravated assault.

Something has exploded in a building in Trosa, reports Sörmland News.

– Rescue services are on site, says Therese Stålnacke, team leader at SOS Alarm, to the newspaper.

No injuries have been reported.

An Air France flight due to land at Arlanda had smoke in the cabin.

According to information, around 170 passengers were on board the plane and the oxygen masks were lowered.

At 18.40, the rescue service stated that the plane had landed safely at Arlanda and that the smoke was gone.

The staff at a grocery store in Råcksta in western Stockholm became suspicious of a man in his 30s.

When they confronted him, he became violent and left his bag containing SEK 1,500 worth of cottage cheese before fleeing.

With the help of surveillance cameras, the police tracked the man to Vällingby, where he was arrested.

He is now suspected of theft and minor assault.

The police received the alarm at 14.53 and the accident happened in Fyrislund, Uppsala.

– Two vehicles have collided at an intersection and both drivers have been transported to hospital. The extent of the damage is unclear, says Pelle Vamstad, press spokesperson at the police.

Both vehicles are recovered from the scene and the police will investigate how the accident happened.

The accident happened in Svalöv and there are currently no reported injuries.

– The motorcyclist is awake and able to speak. There were 15-20 children on the bus at the time of the collision who are unharmed, but a little shocked, says Jimmy Olsson, commanding officer at the rescue service.

The road must be closed in the northbound direction.

Just before lunchtime on Tuesday, a car drove into the ditch in Karlskoga.

On their website, the police write that it was a child under the age of 14 who drove the car.

The child has been guilty of illegal driving even if he has not reached the legal age. Three other children, all under 15 years old, were also in the car.

– Sad that they do it this way. But I hope they learn something, says police spokesperson Mats Öhman.

Guardians of all children are notified of the incident.

Social services will also be notified.

Former foreign minister Tobias Billström (M) suddenly and unexpectedly left the government just over a month ago. Now it is clear what he will do instead. He will run his own business and hold lectures and trainings, the Altinget reports. The lecturers must have a geopolitical orientation and he must hold training courses and conduct counseling in leadership.

Billström will work for the company himself and not employ anyone, writes the newspaper, which has taken note of Billström’s notification to the Karensnämnden about starting a limited company.

The careers board examines new employment or assignments with, for example, former ministers. The board, which can prevent or place restrictions on the mission during a transition period, approved the application on Tuesday.

The board assesses that “the knowledge he (Billström) acquired as a minister does not give rise to any such risk that could justify a transitional restriction”, writes chairperson Anna Skarhed in the decision according to the Alting.

The entire Sundsvall hospital has suffered a power cut.

The power went on at 12:45.

– The reserve power did not start as it should, we were completely without power for 20 minutes, says area director Roger Westerlund.
