A bomb disposal unit responded to a car explosion in Vesterfald, Nykøbing Mors on Sunday afternoon. Two 18-year-old men were inside the vehicle during the incident. Police confirm one young man sustained serious injuries and was transported to hospital.
Authorities suspect illegal fireworks caused the explosion. Investigators found fireworks inside the damaged vehicle. This discovery prompted police to call the Ammunitionsrydningstjenesten, Denmark's specialized bomb disposal service.
The EOD commander confirmed Midt- and Vestjyllands Police are leading the investigation. Bomb disposal units operate under police command in Denmark. The incident occurred in a residential area of the small Danish town.
Car explosions remain rare in Denmark, where firework regulations are generally strict. Yet this incident shows how dangerous illegal pyrotechnics can become when mishandled in confined spaces.
