Danish police say they are investigating two blasts in the vicinity of Israel’s Embassy in Copenhagen.

There were no injuries reported, police say in a statement.

“No one has been injured, and we are carrying out initial investigations at the scene,” Copenhagen police write on X. “A possible connection to the Israeli embassy, ​​located in the area, is being investigated.”

Israel’s Foreign Ministry says the embassy was closed during the explosions and that all of its staff are fine and no damage was caused to the building.
