Of course, we're looking into a link between the two events since it's the same address and they're so close to each other in time, says Carina Skagerlind, press spokesperson at the Stockholm police.

Alarms about loud bangs came in at 00.33 and when the patrol arrived at the scene, it was established that something had exploded.

Although it's a smaller one with minor material damage, we have a comprehensive operation. Many people called in saying they heard a bang from the area, the national bomb squad has been there, and experts are on their way out. We've searched and checked several people, but currently, no one is detained, but there are plenty in the area, and we hope that can help us, says Carina Skagerlind.

A preliminary investigation into reckless endangerment and serious offenses against the law has been initiated.
