The first alarm came at 02.45, when something exploded outdoors on Docentgatan in Malmö.

At 02.51, the rescue service, several ambulances and police were alerted to Nydalavägen where something detonated in an apartment building.

- The entire eight-storey building had to be evacuated, says freelance photographer Mikael Nilsson.

20 minutes later, an explosion occurred in a store on Sörbäcksgatan.

- I hardly think the Malmö police have been involved in anything similar, says Mikael Nilsson.
