Swedish police said that a shooting had occurred at the Israeli embassy Stockholm the day before, adding that no-one was hurt and that an investigation had been opened, AFP reports.

Police said they were alerted that “a bang” had been heard on a street near the embassy in central Stockholm just before 6pm (1600 GMT) on Tuesday.

“We’ve made finds that indicate a shooting at Israel’s embassy, but we don’t want to disclose exactly what finds have been made since there is an ongoing investigation,” Rebecca Landberg, press officer at Stockholm police, told AFP.

Swedish police said in a statement that information indicated the embassy building had been hit by shots.

Landberg added that no-one was injured and that an investigation has been opened into an aggravated weapons offence, endangerment of others and unlawful threats.

Police had made no arrests, but Landberg said that the area was under heavy surveillance by cameras and police were actively gathering and analysing material.
