Explosion reported on Rymarksvej in Hellerup, investigation ongoing near Israeli embassy

A loud explosion was reported on Rymarksvej in Hellerup, likely caused by a powerful firework, according to Copenhagen police at a press conference. Authorities are conducting a broad investigation and are examining potential connections to a recent incident at the Israeli embassy. However, police state that “nothing currently indicates” such a link. Rymarksvej is situated about one kilometer from the embassy.

Earlier this week, two hand grenades exploded near the Israeli embassy, resulting in the arrest of two Swedish individuals who have been charged with terrorism. They are pleading not guilty.

Updates are expected.
