In Denmark, police in Rønne are investigating suspicious activity at a residence on Torkildsvej. In Aarhus, East Jutland Police are treating a fire at a hair salon on Grønnegade as suspected arson, which led to the evacuation of 12 rental units. Additionally, two vehicle fires were reported in the Aarhus area, specifically on Kingosvej and in Viby.

In Sweden, police are investigating a series of fires in the Södermalm district of Stockholm, particularly around the northern Hammarbyhamnen area. The fires have targeted various objects, including trash cans, patios, a shed, and a boat.
