In Klippan, there was a fire during the evening at a shop located next to a residential building, according to the police.

Explosion alarm

A window is said to have been damaged and there is also damage to a facade at a residential building.

Police killed moose
At 9:30 p.m., the police were alerted that a car had collided with a moose on national highway 52 on the outskirts of Nyköping. A police patrol was nearby and one of the officers killed the injured moose with his service weapon.
– It was a hunter ordered. But they have probably made the assessment that the moose has suffered so much that they didn’t want to wait for the hunter. They have obviously managed to do it themselves in a good way, says Linus Maxe at the police.
The people who were in the car are said to have managed without major injuries.
