Explosions Rock Stockholm, Evacuations Follow

Published: 2024-03-06

Stockholm has been rocked by a series of explosions in recent days, with two incidents occurring in Farsta and another on Lidingö.

Following Tuesday's explosion in a Farsta apartment complex, several residents were evacuated due to the risk of building collapse, with no clear timeline for their return.

The explosion caused internal damage to many apartments, and around ten people were hospitalized for checks.

Police, alongside emergency services, initiated the evacuation over concerns of structural integrity.

This marks the second explosion in a residential area in Farsta within two days, raising concerns about the escalation of violence and the impact on community safety.
