Vandalism and Explosion Shake Stockholm Area

Published: 2025-02-03

Two separate incidents of vandalism and violence have shaken Stockholm and Nacka.

On Sunday evening, an explosion occurred at a restaurant in Nacka, shattering windows but causing no injuries.

Police have arrested one suspect, and the case is being investigated as a serious public endangerment and explosives-related crime.

Meanwhile, SVT's main entrance in Stockholm was vandalized overnight, with red paint thrown and a window smashed.

This marks the latest in a series of attacks on the broadcaster, which have included similar paint incidents and foul-smelling substances.

SVT's security chief has condemned the acts as attacks on public service and democracy.

Both cases highlight growing concerns over public safety and targeted attacks in Sweden.
