Sweden – explosion 2

Less than a day after a powerful explosion injured three people in an apartment block in northern Stockholm, an explosion has blown up the façade of an apartment building in Linköping, according to the emergency services in the Swedish region of Eastern Gotland. “The rescue service can only say that there has been an explosion in Linköping,” says Lennart Ågren, Emergency Service duty officer. Photos from the site show an apartment building where the wall on one side has been blown away. A woman of about 25 years old was taken to hospital by ambulance, writes SVT. Her condition is not currently in the public domain, but according to police, she was awake and could speak. According to information provided to Sveriges Radio’s Ekot news broadcast, the blast has links to a conflict between groups in the Foxtrot criminal network. /ritzau/TT/
