A 17-year-old and a 12-year-old child are suspects after yesterday's explosion in Hellerup north of Copenhagen, writes the Danish police on X.

Both suspects are Danish citizens.

There was a powerful explosion at a staircase, about 500 meters from Israel's embassy, which was recently subjected to an attack.

According to the police, it was likely caused by some type of explosive device.

The Danish police said on Monday that any connections to the bombing at the embassy are being investigated, but initially, there was nothing to suggest it.

On Wednesday, an explosion occurred near the embassy and two young Swedes, 16 and 19 years old, are suspected of terrorist crimes. The Danish police have previously stated that the target was most likely Israel's embassy.
