At approximately 7pm (GMT), police were called to another explosion – this time in Hyllie.
Reports suggest the explosion was at the entrance of a multi-family house, which was destroyed.
Police considered that incident to be an act of vandalism caused by a form of firework.
A witness told daily newspaper Sydsvenskan: “I heard a big bang outside the window.
“The house shook and when I looked out it was a lot of smoke.
“A gate is full of broken glass.
“It is very unpleasant.”
The newspaper added that there had been no information about whether anyone was injured during the incident.
