NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte confirms that North Korean soldiers have been sent to Russia, reports Reuters.

– I can confirm that North Korean troops have been sent to Russia and that North Korean military units have been deployed in the Kursk region, says Mark Rutte, according to the news agency.

He is now calling on Russia and North Korea to immediately cease.

– The deployment of North Korean troops constitutes a significant escalation in Russia’s illegal warfare, he says.

Rutte also calls it a threat to both European-Atlantic security.

Furthermore, he says that the move is a sign of Putin’s desperation.

There have long been reports of North Korean soldiers being sent to Russia. Last week NATO confirmed that the information is correct.

Several people have been shot in a small town in northern Austria, Austrian media reports. At least two people have been killed – one of whom is a local mayor.

According to information to the newspaper Kronen Zeitung, the police have found three victims. One of the victims is supposed to be a hunter.

The newspaper writes that a suspected perpetrator is a hunter on the run. He is considered dangerous.

A large police hunt for the shooter is underway in the area around the town of Kirchberg ob der Donau, which is located in the district of Rohrbach, not far from the border with Germany.

The mayor reported to have been shot dead, Franz Hofer, represented the conservative and ruling Austrian People’s Party (ÖVP).

Just before eleven o’clock on Monday, the police and ambulance were called to a car accident south of Jönköping.

It is a car that has driven off the road and overturned, according to Martina Gradian at the police.

– There are at least two people in the car, says Gradian.

Both people are said to have been awake, but have taken an ambulance to the hospital, according to the emergency services.

However, the extent of the damage is still unknown.

So far, the police have no information about the cause of the accident.

The car is off the road and traffic should not be affected by the accident.

Another person has been requested to be detained as a suspect in the cake poisoning in Karlskrona, reports P4 Blekinge.

The cookies, which contained hashish, poisoned nine people who were in an apartment on October 16. Several of them were children.

The new suspect is a 25-year-old man and was arrested this weekend. He is suspected of serious assault – just like the previously detained man.

On Monday, the police confirm that two people aged 15 have been arrested after the shooting that took place on Sunday in Gothenburg, they write on their website.

They were arrested in the immediate area.

On Monday, a police officer blocked off a parking lot in Hisings Kärra after a serious crime took place.

The incident, which was a shooting, is being investigated as attempted murder and aggravated weapons offences.

After lying idle in the English Channel for several weeks, the damaged ship Ruby now appears to have docked in the port of Great Yarmouth on the east coast of Great Britain. The company Serenity Ship Management DMCC, which is responsible for the ship’s operation, previously wrote to GP that it had received permission to dock at the port. According to the site Marinetraffic.com the ship is now in port.

Ruby is loaded with dangerous goods in the form of 20,000 tons of ammonium nitrate.

The ship damaged the hull in connection with loading in a Russian port on the Kola Peninsula. It has been refused to add in several countries due to security risks.

Right now there is a train stoppage in rail traffic in Södertälje past the station Södertälje syd.

The police write that the stop is due to a rescue operation.

Levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere reached record levels in 2023, the UN warns.

“Another year. Another record. This should set alarm bells ringing for policy makers. We are clearly off track when it comes to meeting the goals of the Paris Agreement,” says Celeste Saulo, head of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).

Foot shackles and expanded possibilities for body searches are proposed for monitoring children and young people in Sis homes.

The investigator also suggests new possibilities for room inspections.

Social Services Minister Camilla Waltersson Grönvall (M) has now accepted the investigator’s proposal, which above all aims to make the environment at the National Institutions Board’s (SiS) special youth home safer and more secure.

One suggestion is a new option to use a foot shackle. For children and young people sentenced to closed youth care, electronic monitoring must be able to be used to check that they are not outside the area without permission, especially if they have been placed in a home with a lower security level.

The changes to the law are proposed to enter into force on 1 January 2026.

There is a fire in a car in a parking garage in Tyresö, south of Stockholm. The cause is unclear and other cars are at risk of smoke damage.

– It is likely that other cars may be damaged by smoke. There is definitely a risk of spreading to other cars. The car is far in, so it can be difficult to get there, says Henrik Dewoon-Thorén, officer on duty at the rescue service.

A total of 40 cars in three garages in Växjö were affected by the fire, reports P4 Kronoberg.

– Then I don’t know if all the cars have caught fire or if some are just smoke damaged, says the emergency services’ alarm and line operator in Småland.

The fires broke out at 02.30 on Monday night.

– I interpret it as that there has been a fire in three separate garages close to each other, says police spokesperson Katarina Rusin.

An arson report will be drawn up.

– We suspect that an unknown perpetrator has started the fires. No one is deprived of liberty. A technical investigation may be relevant. Right now it’s too hot, says Rusin.

Several bombings occurred in southwest Gothenburg at the beginning of the year and now two teenagers have been charged as suspects in the crimes.

It concerns a 19-year-old who is charged with three bombings in Västra Frölunda and another teenager who is charged with aiding and abetting two of the crimes.

– Our opinion is that these acts have been carried out in a gang environment. The detonations have been powerful and it is only coincidence that no one has died or been seriously injured, says investigator Stefan Olofsson in a statement.

Among other things, an explosion occurred at an entrance to a terraced house in Västra Frölunda on January 6. Two months later, on March 6, two more explosions occurred in nearby properties. There, some of the residents were also physically injured.

The common denominator of both blasts was a 19-year-old man.

– What stands out and really needs to be emphasized is the large number of plaintiffs who have been injured or exposed to significant risks. In total, it is about 205 crime victims who have been affected in various ways by these acts of violence, says Stefan Olofsson in a statement.
