Sweden Faces Surge in Explosions

Published: 2025-01-29

Sweden is grappling with a surge in explosions, with six incidents reported in just 24 hours.

In Upplands-Bro, a powerful blast damaged a residential building, leading to the arrest of a suspect for gross public endangerment.

This follows another explosion in the same area earlier this week.

Authorities describe the violence as increasingly strategic, targeting businesses and individuals rather than gang rivalries.

Over 30 explosions have occurred this year, prompting calls for stronger measures.

Justice Minister Gunnar Strömmer emphasizes international cooperation to address gang leaders operating from abroad.

Police and communities are urged to collaborate to combat the growing threat of organized crime.
