Two bomb explosions near the Israeli Embassy in Denmark’s Copenhagen have caused panic in the area. A large police force has been deployed at the scene, and the entire area has been cordoned off for security reasons. Danish police have stated that an investigation into the explosions has been launched. So far, there have been no reports of any injuries. Israel has not yet commented on the incident.
"No one has been injured in the explosion. Preliminary investigations are being conducted at the scene,” the Copenhagen Police wrote on X.
They added that they are also investigating whether the incident is linked to the Israeli Embassy. According to Danish media reports, heavy police forces have surrounded the entire area.
"It is clear that the Israeli embassy is in the immediate vicinity and that is naturally also an angle that we look at," Reuters quoted Deputy Assistant Commissioner Jakob Hansen of the Copenhagen police as saying.
This blast is considered a big event amid unrest between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Iran on Tuesday launched missiles at Israel, triggering thousands of sirens across the country as civilians scrambled for shelter. In response, Israel vowed to retaliate against Iran, indicating the attack was a reaction to the recent killings of a senior Guards commander and other key leaders.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed responsibility for targeting "three military bases" near Tel Aviv, Israel’s main commercial centre. Iran’s Foreign Minister, Seyed Abbas Araghchi, stated that Tehran considered its actions complete "unless the Israeli regime provokes further retaliation."
