Early Sunday morning، a fire broke out at a grocery store in Birsta, located north of Sundsvall, resulting in significant smoke and water damage in the store’s pantry area.

In a separate incident, Denmark’s largest Christmas tree toppled over just two days after being erected. The 26-meter tree, displayed at a shopping mall in Kolding, fell on Friday evening, having been installed the previous Wednesday.

Meanwhile, researchers have stumbled upon the world’s largest coral, surpassing the size of a blue whale, and is older than the United States. This remarkable discovery, which is visible from space, was made by a group of scientists who expressed their amazement at finding such a giant in a world believed to have few remaining mysteries. One researcher noted the thrill of uncovering this living giant at a time when many thought there was little left to discover on Earth.
