Two explosions reported within 30 minutes in western Sweden

Swedish police received reports of two separate explosions within half an hour late Thursday night—one in Vänersborg and another in Uddevalla—prompting authorities to issue a public warning (VMA) for both cities, SVT Nyheter reports.

“The warning was issued to minimise risks and protect people,” said Martin Hallberg of the local police.

No injuries have been confirmed, and investigations into the cause of the blasts are ongoing.

In a separate incident, a man in his 40s was found dead in a villa on Ornö island in Stockholm’s archipelago. A man in his 70s has been arrested on suspicion of murder, according to police spokesperson Ola Österling.

“We deployed extensive resources, including patrol units, police helicopters, and air ambulances,” Österling said.
