Late Sunday night, a loud bang accompanied by the sound of shattered windows was reported in Nørrebro, a neighborhood in Copenhagen, leading to heightened police alertness in the area ever since. According to Duty Officer Stefan Ladeby of Copenhagen Police (Københavns Politi), authorities received multiple reports from residents at 00:55 AM about the sudden noise.
The police suspect that an explosion occurred at an apartment building on Lundtoftegade, which has resulted in broken windows. Fortunately, there have been no reports of injuries, and no individuals have been arrested in connection with the incident.
An intensive investigation is currently underway, and the police have urged any witnesses of the event to contact them at phone number 114. Officers have been on the crime scene for several hours this morning, and residents can expect an increased police presence throughout the morning to provide reassurance in the community.
Copenhagen Police have enlisted the help of the Danish Armed Forces’ Explosive Ordnance Disposal service (Forsvarets ammunitionsrydningstjeneste, EOD) and the National Criminal Technical Center (Politiets Nationale Kriminaltekniske Center, NKC) to assist in examining the site. The lead investigator, Kenneth Jensen, has confirmed this collaboration, which will continue as the investigation progresses.
Residents of Nørrebro are encouraged to remain calm as authorities work diligently to determine the specifics of what occurred and identify any individuals responsible for the explosion.
