Former US president Donald Trump claimed in a televised address early Friday that tens of millions of voter records in the US were bought, stolen, or hacked by China, citing newly released intelligence documents exposing vulnerabilities in the US election system, Swedish broadcaster SVT reports.

Meanwhile, tensions in the Middle East escalated as Iran launched fresh counterattacks on US military bases in Kuwait and Bahrain, following another night of heavy US strikes on multiple Iranian cities.

Domestically, Sweden’s national weather service issued warnings of high or very high grass pollen levels across the country, with mugwort pollen beginning to spread in southern regions.
