COPENHAGEN — A powerful explosion caused serious damage to a police station in southern Sweden early Wednesday, authorities said, adding that there were no injuries and nobody has been arrested. Police haven’t said what caused the pre-dawn blast at the police station in Helsingborg, but the country’s top police official, Dan Eliasson, called it “an attack against society.” The explosion caused considerable damage to the police station’s entrance and shattered dozens of windows in nearby buildings. No one has claimed responsibility for the blast about 50 kilometres (30 miles) north of Malmo, Sweden’s third largest city. Suburban feuds between criminal gangs fighting over territory have taken place in major Swedish cities in recent years. “It is fair to believe that this is a consequence of the good police work we do,” senior officer Patric Heimbrand told a news conference.
