Swedish intelligence headquarters hit by gas leak, seven people in hospital. An investigation is underway, said the chief doctor of health services in the Stockholm region.

Police officers equipped with gas masks and ambulances joined the area which was evacuated. Residents in the area were asked to close their windows and witnesses said they smelled something like paint, according to the Aftonbladet daily. Swedish intelligence services this week warned of threats posed by state actors, particularly targeting Russia, China and Iran.
