It is the second attack in three days against the same address.

Yes, it's true, it's the same address as the explosion on Thursday, and we're looking into whether it's targeted at the same people, says Mats Eriksson, press spokesperson for the Stockholm Police.

During the night leading up to Thursday, a hand grenade exploded at the exposed address. Two men were arrested and detained after the incident, but no one was injured in the attack. The detention was later lifted the same day, but the individuals are still suspected.

No Personal Injuries

No personal injuries have been reported after Saturday evening's explosion either. It was still unclear whether it was also a hand grenade.

It's too early to say what caused the explosion, says Carina Skagerlind.

The explosion occurred in the entrance to an apartment building, and several people were at home in several of the apartments.

Interrogations During the Night

No one has been detained after Saturday evening's explosion. The police are investigating the incident as general vandalism.

We have conducted a number of interrogations during the night and checked a large number of people, says Skagerlind.

It's too early to draw conclusions about connections to gang criminality, according to the Police.
