Copenhagen police reported a nighttime explosion near the Israeli Embassy in Denmark, just five days after a similar incident occurred near the same diplomatic mission.
Trine Møller, a police inspector in Copenhagen, told reporters that authorities are investigating whether the recent explosion is connected to last week’s attack on the Israeli Embassy.
However, she clarified that “nothing suggests a direct link” at this point and that the explosion appears to have been caused by gunfire.
Local media shared images showing the aftermath of the blast near a residential building located about 500 meters from the embassy.
Earlier in October, two explosions were reported near the Israeli Embassy, which the police suspected were caused by hand grenades amidst rising tensions in the Middle East.
Two Swedish youths, aged 16 and 19, are accused of transporting five hand grenades and throwing two of them onto a balcony around 100 meters from the embassy.
A judge has ordered their detention for 27 days.
Following the incident, Danish police added terrorism charges against the suspects, though further details have not been disclosed.
This latest explosion is part of a growing number of similar attacks on Israeli embassies across Europe.
In May, hand grenades were thrown at the Israeli Embassy in Brussels, Belgium, though no one was injured. The Israeli Embassy in Stockholm, Sweden, was also targeted twice in 2024—first in January, when an explosive device was found on the embassy grounds, and again in May, when shots were fired near the building.
The most recent attack took place just last Tuesday, when gunshots were fired at the Israeli Embassy in Stockholm. No injuries were reported in that incident either.
