Police were called to a loud bang in Vasastaden, in central Gothenburg, shortly after 9 p.m. on Thursday. According to police, some glass was broken at the entrance to a residence.

"No major material damage, but it was still a powerful explosion, and at that time there were a lot of people out and about in the area, so it was lucky that no one was injured," says Fuxborg.

At this time, no one has been arrested or is suspected of the crime.
