Police in Denmark and Sweden are investigating explosions and gunfire near Israeli embassies amid escalating Middle East tensions.

In Copenhagen, two blasts occurred near the Israeli embassy, leading to the arrest of three Swedish nationals.

In Stockholm, the Israeli embassy was targeted in a shooting, though no injuries were reported, CNA has reported.

The incidents coincide with growing international concern following missile exchanges between Iran and Israel. Both countries’ authorities are intensifying security measures around Jewish locations.
