A Swedish man in his 50s has been shot in the leg in Laholm, Halland, possibly as a retaliatory act following a grenade attack on a kiosk in Copenhagen earlier this week. This violent incident has heightened tensions across the border.

According to the Swedish newspaper Expressen, the injured man is related to a 24-year-old Swedish man who was arrested on Wednesday at the Øresund Bridge, which connects Denmark and Sweden. He was detained in absentia along with a female companion of the same age during a preliminary hearing at the Copenhagen City Court (Københavns Byret).

As police continue their investigation to understand the complex relationships among those involved, these incidents have instilled fear and uncertainty among residents in both Copenhagen and Laholm. The exact motives behind these events remain unclear, but authorities are working intensively to resolve the case and restore calm to the affected areas.
