A bomb-like object was discovered in Kalmar on Thursday evening, prompting a swift police response.

Jessica Axelsson, who found the object, alerted the authorities while holding it in her hands.

The police confirmed on Friday that the object was indeed explosive.

The National Bomb Squad was called to the scene and successfully disarmed the device.

The area around Bragebron was cordoned off as a precaution, but the restrictions were lifted by 11 PM.

An investigation into the incident is ongoing, with no suspects identified yet.

Authorities are appealing for witnesses who might have seen anything unusual.
