Copenhagen - An explosion damaged a police
station in Copenhagen early on Saturday, in the second blast to
hit the Danish capital in four days.
No one was injured in the blast, which happened outside a
station in the Norrebro, just outside the city centre, police
said on Twitter.
On Tuesday, one person was slightly injured in an explosion
outside the Danish Tax Agency's office, in what police said was
a deliberate attack.
Police told Reuters it was too early to say whether the two
blasts were connected, but could not immediately comment
further.

Serious attacks or violence are rare in the small Nordic
country of 5.7 million people that prides itself on a reputation
for safety and social tolerance.
