Stockholm Suburbs Rocked by Series of Explosions

Published: 2024-03-05

A series of explosions have rocked Stockholm's southern suburbs, prompting emergency evacuations and police investigations.

The most recent blast occurred at a multi-family residence in Farsta, causing significant damage to the building's entrance and staircase, and raising concerns of a collapse.

Residents were evacuated as a precaution, with some reporting a loud noise and shaking that felt like glass and wood shattering.

This incident follows two other explosions in the area within a day, including one at a building in Larsberg on Lidingö and another in Fagersjö, Farsta, which resulted in minor injuries to several individuals.

Authorities have launched an investigation into these incidents, suspecting links to criminal activities.
