A bomb exploded early Wednesday morning outside a gate in central Kista.

No one was injured, but several floors were affected by the explosion and a large area was cordoned off.

Connects to young man

The gate leads to an office building with several companies, one of which can be linked to a young man in Stockholm's underworld.

According to the information, the explosion in Kista can also be connected to shootings in Märsta and Kallhäll earlier this year.

There should also be a connection with the explosion at a restaurant on Södermalm in Stockholm on Tuesday.

According to SVT's sources, the bombings and shootings must have been directed at people with close connections to the young man, or people who are close to him in other ways.

The goal should be to put pressure on him.

Battle for drug markets

According to SVT's information, everything is about a power struggle around the drug trade in Sundsvall, a market controlled by the young man.

Now the police suspect that another prominent figure within the Swedish gang milieu wants to take over the drug trade in the area.

The police do not want to confirm any connection between Tuesday's and Wednesday's explosions, or the previous acts of violence.

- It is too early to neither confirm nor dismiss that there are connections.

Of course, we usually have more information than we can share, so as not to influence the investigation.

It does not mean that there are any connections in this case, but we always investigate whether there is, says Anna Westberg, press spokesperson at the police in Stockholm.
