An object believed to be an explosive device was found outside the Israeli embassy in Stockholm on Wednesday and destroyed by the national bomb squad, Swedish police said.
Embassy officials notified police about the object, triggering a large law enforcement response, police said.
The device was later detonated in a controlled manner, a police spokesperson told broadcaster TV4.
“We will not be intimidated by terror,” wrote the Israeli ambassador to Sweden, Ziv Nevo Kulman, in X.
Police declined to give any details about the nature of the object or how it entered embassy grounds and said they had launched an investigation.
The object is believed to be a hand grenade that was thrown over the embassy's fence, landing near the building, newspaper Aftonbladet reported, citing unidentified sources.
The embassy building was cordoned off at a distance of about 100 meters.
