Danish police investigated two blasts in the immediate vicinity of Israel’s embassy in the northern outskirts of Copenhagen and concluded they were likely caused by hand grenades, a Danish police spokesperson told a press conference.
An area was cordoned off around the embassy and armed Danish military personnel stood guard, while investigators wearing coverall suits were seen combing the scene for evidence.
Carolineskolen, a Jewish school located near the embassy in the Danish capital, would stay closed on Wednesday due to its proximity to the crime scene, a spokesperson for the Jewish Community in Denmark told Reuters.
Sweden incident
There have also been several recent security incidents near Israel’s embassy in neighboring Sweden, where police on Tuesday said they were investigating suspected gunfire in the area.
In January a Stockholm police bomb squad disarmed what investigators called a “dangerous object” outside the Israeli embassy building.
