Car Explosion in Denmark Prompts Bomb Squad Response

Two 18-year-old men were inside a car when an explosion occurred in Vesterfald, Nykøbing Mors on Sunday afternoon. One young man suffered serious injuries and was transported to a hospital. Police suspect illegal fireworks caused the blast. Investigators found fireworks inside the vehicle. This discovery prompted authorities to call the bomb disposal unit. The Ammunitionsrydningstjenesten (EOD) is Denmark's national bomb squad. They handle explosive materials across the country. An EOD commander confirmed that Midt- and Vestjyllands Police are leading the investigation. All bomb squad operations fall under police command in Denmark. The incident highlights ongoing concerns about firework safety in the region. Denmark maintains strict regulations on fireworks, especially outside traditional holiday periods. Police will likely examine whether the young men violated these laws. Such explosions remain rare but pose serious risks when they occur.
