A powerful explosion outside a police station in southern Sweden has caused significant damage to the building.

Swedish authorities said there were no injuries and nobody has been arrested.

Police have not said what caused Wednesday’s pre-dawn blast at the police station in Helsingborg, but the country’s top police official, Dan Eliasson, called it ‘an attack against society’.

The explosion caused considerable damage to the police station’s entrance and shattered dozens of windows in nearby buildings.

No-one has claimed responsibility for the blast about 30 miles north of Malmo, Sweden’s third largest city.

Suburban feuds between criminal gangs fighting over territory have taken place in major Swedish cities in recent years.
