A powerful explosion shook a residential area in Södertälje on Sunday night. The entrance to an apartment building was blown away when the bomb detonated. Police have made no arrests.

Just before one o’clock, specifically at 00:47, the alarm was received by SOS Alarm. Shortly thereafter, police confirmed that it was indeed an explosion.

The area was quickly cordoned off while police and emergency services worked at the scene. Initially, it was unclear what had caused the explosion.

The explosion caused significant property damage. The entrance door was blown out and several windows were shattered by the shockwave. Despite the dramatic events, there are no reports of any injuries.

Several residents in the area woke up from the explosion and told the local newspaper Länstidningen that it was an enormous bang. One person suffered ear pain and could not hear for several seconds.

– The entire glass pane in my bedroom window was shattered by the shockwave and a wall clock I have in the kitchen fell onto the floor, another resident told the newspaper.

A preliminary investigation into causing public destruction and violation of laws regarding flammable and explosive goods has been initiated. No one has been arrested.
