Danish police said they were investigating two blasts in the immediate vicinity of Israel’s embassy in the northern outskirts of Copenhagen, Reuters reports.

There were no injuries reported and it was too early to say how big the blasts had been, a police spokesperson told reporters at the scene.

“It is clear that the Israeli embassy is in the immediate vicinity and that is naturally also an angle that we look at,” Deputy Assistant Commissioner Jakob Hansen of the Copenhagen police said.

Israel’s embassy, in a Facebook post, expressed shock over the explosions but said it had full confidence in the Danish police handling the investigation.

An area was cordoned off around the embassy and armed Danish military personnel stood guard, while investigators wearing coverall suits were seen combing the scene for evidence.
