One Dead, Two Injured in Stockholm Explosions

Two explosions on Drottninggatan Street in downtown Stockholm has left one person dead and another injured.

It’s too early to speculate if these two separate explosions, the first one at the intersection of Drottinggaten and Olof Palmes Gata and the second, occurring approximately 5 minutes later at Drottninggatan and Bryggargatan streets were accidental or intentional, according to Swedish police spokesman Petra Sjolander.

Two people were injured in the incident as a car exploded several times near a crowded shopping district. According to Sjolander, it’s possible that some type of gas tubes were responsible for the multiple explosions.

Sjolander also stated that the police have no knowledge of what caused the second explosion where one person was found dead.

"There is no risk of any further explosions as we see it and the car will now be examined," said Sjolander.
