Malmö, Sweden has been hit by a wave of bombings – at least five explosions have occurred during the past week. Several residential areas have been damaged, but no one has been arrested yet. Police suspect the incidents are linked to criminal networks.

During week 29, several powerful detonations have awakened residents in the southern Swedish city of Malmö. All cases are being investigated as public endangerment and violations of laws regarding flammable and explosive materials.

On Friday night, an explosion occurred at a villa in Virentofta. The blast, which happened just after 2:30 AM, caused extensive damage to the property and the area was cordoned off.

We have made findings at one of the locations and need to examine this more closely along with potential connections, threat assessments and why this is happening at these specific places, says police spokesperson Katarina Rusin to tax-funded SVT (Swedish public television).

Just a few hours later an apartment building in Bunkeflostrand was damaged by a new explosion. Windows on two balconies were shattered, but no people were injured.

An explosion also occurred in Rosengård when a hand grenade was thrown into a stairwell on Wednesday evening. No one was hurt, but the destruction in the building was extensive.

We can confirm that a detonation has occurred at the bottom of the stairwell of an apartment building. Only material damage has been caused, including to apartment doors, commented duty officer Peter Martin at the police.

Two additional explosions have been registered in police incident reports. Among other things, an apartment building in Limhamn was reportedly subjected to an explosion on Sunday evening, but more exact details are currently lacking.

According to recent reports, two men have been detained suspected of the explosion in Limhamn. The men are reportedly in their 30s. No further arrests have been made and police are now working with reinforced resources in the affected areas.

We also believe there are more witnesses who may have seen or heard something, says Katarina Rusin.

Malmö thus remains severely affected by explosive violence, which according to police has clearly escalated during the summer.

Swedish Police: Children killed while carrying out bombings for criminals

Deteriorating safety

Police urge parents to be present in their children's lives - both physically and digitally.
2 minute read

The number of bomb attacks in Sweden has increased dramatically – and increasingly, children are being exploited by criminal networks to carry them out.

Swedish police are now sounding the alarm after several young people have been injured and at least one killed while handling hand grenades and explosive charges.

The increase is dramatic. Up to August this year, 119 detonations have occurred in Sweden, compared to 76 during the same period last year, and increasingly it is children and teenagers who are carrying out bombing and arson attacks for gang criminal clients.

There are several documented cases where young people have been seriously injured, and at least one death has occurred when young people have handled explosives and flammable liquids.

— Handling flammable liquids and explosives can be deadly or cause, for example, serious burns, hearing damage or blown-off hands, emphasizes Dan Windt, operational coordinator at the Swedish police’s national operations center.

Hand grenades at preschools

Due to the ruthless exploitation, the Swedish Police Authority has launched a social media campaign targeting young people. The message is clear: never take assignments from criminals and never handle explosives – it is life-threatening. Police also urge parents to be vigilant and recognize warning signs.

— Parents and other important adults need to continue being present in children’s lives both physically and digitally. Ask lots of questions and ask for help. Contact social services in your municipality if the child is contacted by criminals, or alert police at such an early stage if you suspect your child is about to commit a crime, so we can prevent it together, Windt continues.

Many of the bombings have been carried out with smuggled hand grenades used for both revenge and extortion. On several occasions, unexploded hand grenades have been found in residential areas – even at or near preschools.

— An explosive charge or hand grenade can look many different ways. If you discover a suspected dangerous object, you should under no circumstances touch the object, keep a safe distance, warn others and alert police by calling 112, Dan Windt concludes.

Female paramedic killed in stabbing in Sweden

A female paramedic has died following a knife attack in Harmånger in Nordanstig municipality, Sweden, on Saturday. A 25-year-old man has been detained on suspicion of murder.

Police received an emergency call at 11:30 AM about an assault in a residential apartment complex area.

— We were told that an ambulance worker had been injured by a sharp object that a man at the scene had, says Maria Hall, police press spokesperson for the central region.

The woman was taken to hospital but her life could not be saved. A neighbor who knows the suspect recounts:

— My little 12-year-old daughter, who was out with the dog, saw how the ambulance woman came out bleeding. I know the guy who did this. As we understand it, he himself called for an ambulance because he was in such bad condition.

According to the neighbor, several people witnessed the attack.

— There were several witnesses standing outside the entrance when the injured woman ran out. She threw herself out of the apartment after he had stabbed her. The guy stood with two knives in his hands. People screamed at him and then he went back into the apartment again. He is dangerous. That’s well known.

Residents had to stay indoors

The area was cordoned off and residents were advised to stay indoors. Sweden’s National Task Force arrived at 2:30 PM. A female neighbor heard screams from the stairwell and then saw the paramedic on the ground.

— Someone else performed CPR. She kept going for a very long time, she tells Bonnier newspaper Expressen, and explains that she was forced to stay inside for two hours.

— The police called me and said I wasn’t allowed to go out into the stairwell, because I was safer inside.

Two hours after the emergency call, the man was arrested and later detained on probable cause suspected of murder.

Ambulance union: Murder could have been prevented

Henrik Johansson, union secretary at the Swedish Ambulance Union, believes the death could have been prevented with better information sharing between police and healthcare services.

— For many years we have lacked the possibility of flagging, that is, information exchange between police and emergency dispatch, where one could otherwise find out if the person appears in crime and suspect registers – if the person has repeatedly threatened ambulance and rescue personnel, he says to Schibsteds-owned TV4.

— It gets red-flagged. A textbook case of someone who should not have received an ambulance. So it would have made a real difference in this case.

The union has been pushing this issue for 20 years without success.

— We have been so frustrated about this – and we have really been nagging. We have participated in the blue light investigation. We have written articles about it. We bring it up almost daily in various forums. But the employer remains silent.

“A tragedy”

Sineva Ribeiro, chairperson of the Swedish Association of Health Professionals, agrees with the criticism.

— Here the employer has a great responsibility to never accept threats and violence against healthcare personnel.

Region Gävleborg (the regional healthcare authority) has activated crisis support for colleagues.

— It is a tragedy. It is a terrible incident. There are upset emotions and we are now taking care of staff and relatives, says Susanna Björklund, deputy director of health and medical services.

Orbán: “We feel sorry for the Swedes”

Deteriorating safety

Published 18 September 2025

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has on several occasions in a short period of time highlighted Swedish politicians as a cautionary example.
2 minute read

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is once again attacking Sweden’s government. In a new post on X, the Hungarian leader writes that he “feel for the Swedish people – trapped in disorder while their leaders spend their time pointing fingers”.

In his Wednesday post, Orbán lists figures to show the contrast between Hungary and Sweden. Hungary reportedly had zero bombings and zero illegal migrants during 2024, while 132 people smugglers were caught and 16,000 illegal migrants were stopped.

Sweden, on the other hand, according to Orbán’s sources, had 317 gang-related explosions during 2024, with 32 in January alone. 62,000 people are connected to criminal networks, 8,935 illegal migrants, and the firearm murder rate stands at 4 per million inhabitants – compared to the EU average of 1.6.

“Safe, orderly, under control”, Orbán writes about his own country, while describing Sweden as a country where “law and order collapses”.

The Hungarian leader also quotes Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, who earlier this year admitted “that we don’t have control over the wave of violence is quite obvious”.

“Yet they lecture us about the rule of law,” Orbán writes, concluding with the words: “This chaos must not become Europe’s future, our people deserve better!”

Ongoing war of words

Orbán’s latest statement is a continuation of the war of words between him and the Moderate Party-led Swedish government. As recently as last weekend, the Hungarian prime minister attacked crime developments in Sweden and Swedish authorities’ inability to act, claiming among other things that “this is how a country collapses” and that “what remains is barbarism”.

During the political event, Orbán claimed that 284 underage girls had been arrested for murder in Sweden. However, the claim was incorrect – according to his source, German newspaper Welt, it concerned 284 girls between 15 and 17 years old who were investigated for various types of violent crimes, not just murder.

The Hungarian leader argued that this development had been ongoing for fifteen years under different Swedish governments and that politicians had “relegated the country outside European civilization”.

— By the way, these are the Swedes who lecture us about the rule of law, he added as a final jab, referring to how the Kristersson government has directed harsh criticism at what it considers Hungary’s democratic backsliding and restrictions on LGBTQ rights and other civil liberties.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán launched a harsh attack against Sweden’s political leadership in a fiery speech over the weekend.

“This is how a country collapses” and “what remains is barbarism”, said the Hungarian prime minister, who also claimed that hundreds of underage girls have been arrested for murder in Sweden.

During a political event in Sátoraljaújhely, Hungary, Orbán once again delivered scathing criticism of Swedish politicians. His message was clear: Sweden’s authorities have betrayed their people and allowed the country to fall apart.

— This news of the week is that in Sweden, 284 underage girls were arrested for murder. Not because they killed one person together, but each one separately, Orbán claimed before the audience.

The Hungarian leader continued by describing how these girls are exploited by criminal networks because they cannot be sentenced in court, and he argued that Swedish authorities bear ultimate responsibility.

— This is how a country collapses, every rule, all order breaks down. What remains is barbarism.

“Deserve better”

Orbán emphasized that this development has been ongoing for fifteen years under different Swedish governments and that the authorities have effectively relegated the country outside European civilization. As a final jab at the Swedish government, he added:

— By the way, these are the Swedes who lecture us about the rule of law.

The statement has spread through a video where images from Orbán’s speech are interspersed with clips of Swedish police and various crime scenes.

“The Swedish people deserve better”, wrote the Hungarian prime minister when he shared the video – a clear indication that his criticism is directed at the country’s ruling elite, not at the Swedish people.

“Outrageous lies”

Orbán’s claims are based on an article from German newspaper Welt. The article reported that approximately 280 girls between 15 and 17 years old were investigated for violent crimes during the previous year – not exclusively murder as Orbán claimed.

The attack comes after a period of diplomatic tensions between the two countries’ governments. Hungary was the last to approve Sweden’s NATO membership, and the Swedish government has in turn directed harsh criticism at what is alleged to be Hungary’s democratic backsliding and restrictions on LGBTQ rights. As recently as August, Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson accused Hungary’s leadership of standing “on the wrong side of history”.

The Swedish prime minister chose to respond to Orbán’s statement on X by focusing on the incorrect figures rather than how he and other Swedish politicians have failed to stop the advance of organized crime.

“These are outrageous lies. Not surprising coming from the man who is dismantling the rule of law in his own country. Orbán is desperate ahead of the upcoming Hungarian election”, he claims.
