Second Explosion Rocks Norrköping, Prompting Investigation and Evacuations

On the evening of November 23, 2025, Norrköping experienced a second powerful explosion within 24 hours, causing significant damage but no reported injuries. Around 11 PM, a blast struck a multi-family building in the Sandbyhov district, leading to extensive damage to the entrance door and several windows. The explosion was loud enough to be heard throughout the city, prompting a swift emergency response including 15 firefighters and multiple police patrols. Authorities instructed residents of the affected stairwell to stay indoors as the national bomb squad was dispatched to the scene.

Simultaneously, a suspicious object was discovered outdoors in the Lindö area, resulting in the evacuation of four nearby homes. While police confirmed investigations are ongoing to determine if there is a connection between this recent explosion and an earlier blast at a multi-family house in the Ljura area that morning, no suspects have been identified yet.

The incident is being treated as a case of public endangerment and possible violations concerning flammable and explosive materials. Police spokesperson Martina Gradian confirmed that although the precise links between the incidents remain under investigation, the authorities are treating the situation with urgency given the repeated nature of the attacks.

Emergency services efficiently cordoned off the areas around the explosion sites to secure the scene, ensuring residents’ safety. Despite the dramatic damage, fortunately no injuries have been reported. Witnesses described the explosion as "very powerful," highlighting the serious impact on the local community.

Norrköping’s residents remain on alert as the bomb squad conducts thorough investigations. The police continue to seek information from the public to piece together the circumstances behind these troubling events, hoping to prevent further incidents.
