An explosion rocked the entrance of an apartment building in Greve, Denmark, late Tuesday night, prompting a police investigation. Authorities are working to determine the cause and potential motive behind the incident.
The Midt- and West Zealand Police received multiple emergency calls just before midnight regarding the explosion at Gersagerparken 66. Upon arrival, officers discovered significant damage to the building’s entrance area, with shattered glass and reports of a loud bang.
Fortunately, no one was injured in the blast. However, the incident has sparked a thorough investigation involving multiple police units, including dog patrols and forensic technicians. The Ammunition Disposal Service (EOD) was also called to the scene to assist in the investigation.
Police are currently unsure whether the explosion was a targeted attack or a random act. “We are unsure. The investigation will have to show that,” stated duty officer Benjamin Rasch of the Midt- and West Zealand Police.
Initial assessments suggest that the explosive device was more powerful than a typical firecracker, possibly a sail yarn bomb or chrysanthemum bomb. However, a definitive conclusion on the type of explosive is expected within a few days, following analysis by forensic technicians.
Authorities are also reviewing surveillance footage from the area in an effort to identify potential suspects. Access to the footage is expected to begin on Wednesday.
