(AFP) Police in Denmark and Sweden said on Wednesday they were probing explosions and gunfire around Israeli embassies in their capitals which took place amid spiralling Middle East tensions.
In Denmark, police said three Swedish nationals had been arrested after two blasts, likely from hand grenades, in the “immediate proximity” of the Israeli embassy in Copenhagen early Wednesday.
Swedish police said the Israeli embassy in Stockholm had been targeted in a shooting on Tuesday just before 6:00 pm (1600 GMT).
No injuries were reported from the incidents but both came amid heightened international fears as Iran fired missiles at Israel which has vowed to respond to the attack.
