The object was found in connection with the dam being emptied of water, and the National Bomb Protection was called in.

We do not know how long it has been there. One assumes that it may be a dangerous object, said press spokesperson Katarina Rusin.

At half past one, the police announced that a controlled explosion had been carried out. Traffic on Yttre ringvägen was temporarily stopped but has now been released again.
