It is unclear if anything detonated and if so what but several cars are burning on Jägersrovägen in the same area.

- Several callers heard a loud bang and we go to the place where we can see that several cars are on fire, so we think this may be related, says Evelina Olsson at the police press service.

Close to residential buildings - the public is urged to avoid the smoke

According to the police, several minor bangs came from the cars as they burned up.

- There are four cars that are burning heavily and it is close to an apartment building.

We have no information about the injured, but we urge the public to avoid the smoke, says Evelina Olsson. 

The rescue service is on site to put out the car fires.

At 10 pm, it was announced that the fire had been extinguished and that in addition to the cars, the garage length they were under had also burned down.

The police initially blocked Jägersrovägen but reopened shortly after the fire was under control.

The police have cordoned off a large area around the car fires and divert traffic from Västra Kattarpsvägen and from Jägersro.
