The Greek neighborhood pub has been operating in Södermalm for several years.

"Last night there was an attack where parts of the restaurant were destroyed.

We are all in shock and cannot understand why this has happened.

We want to emphasize that there has been no threat image and we are absolutely not involved in criminal activities," write representatives of the business in a post on the restaurant's Instagram account.

They will now be closed "for some time to come".

SVT has been in contact with representatives of the restaurant, who say that it is a difficult time and do not want to comment on the incident further.
