Explosions Near Israel Embassy in Copenhagen

Two Explosions Near Israel Embassy in Copenhagen

Two blasts occurred on Wednesday near the vicinity of Israel’s embassy on the northern outskirts of Copenhagen. Danish police confirmed that no injuries were reported and that an investigation is underway. “No one has been injured, and we are carrying out initial investigations at the scene,” Copenhagen police tweeted. Officials added, “A possible connection to the Israeli embassy, located in the area, is being investigated.”

The Israeli embassy did not immediately respond when contacted by news agency Reuters. These explosions coincided with escalating tensions in the Middle East, as Iran launched missiles at Israel in retaliation for the killing of Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah. Since Israel’s war against Hamas began after the Palestinian group’s attack on October 7, several Israeli embassies worldwide have faced alleged targeted attacks.
