A new blast went off near the Israeli embassy in Denmark, police say, on the one-year anniversary of the Hamas October 7 attack on Israel.
The blast occurred some 500 meters (yards) from the embassy in Copenhagen and came five days after two explosions near the building for which two Swedish nationals have been arrested.
“We are of course looking into whether there could be a connection to the (earlier) incident at the Israeli embassy,” Copenhagen police inspector Trine Moller tells reporters.
“There is no indication that this is the case,” she adds, adding that the reported explosion may have been caused by gunfire.
Images on local media showed traces of a blast in front of a residential building some 500 meters away from the Israeli embassy.
Sweden’s intelligence agency Sapo said that Iran may have been involved in the October 2 explosions in Denmark, as well as a shooting near Israel’s embassy in Stockholm the day before.
