A powerful explosion occurred in the Kville district shortly before midnight, reports Göteborgs-Posten. A large number of residents in the area contacted SOS Alarm, and both police and emergency services were alerted to the scene.

The emergency services incident commander Mats Gränsmark confirmed that they were on their way to the scene and that the task was primarily to assist the police.
