Swedish police have detained several people and cordoned off a large area in Stockholm after a patrol heard suspected gunshots, the police said on Friday. The Israeli embassy is located in the closed-off area.

"A police patrol at Strandvagen in Stockholm heard bangs and suspected there had been a shooting," a statement on the police website said, adding that the affected area lay between the Djurgarden Bridge, the Nobel Park and the Oscar Church.
