{{Short description|Disaster in Linköping, Sweden}}

The 2019 Linköping explosion was a bombing of a residential area in Linköping, Sweden, on 7 June 2019. The police believe that the explosion was part of a rivalry between criminal gangs. Unlike most criminal incidents involving bombs or explosive material in Sweden, the attack damaged more than 150 homes and caused substantial damage to an entire apartment block. The New York Post stated that 25 people were injured, and Expressen reported that seven were taken to hospital. Investigators expressed surprise that nobody was killed in the explosion.{{cite web|url=https://www.expressen.se/nyheter/explosion-i-centrala-linkoping-/|title=Explosion Linköping: Flera skadade på Hamngatan Ådalagatan|website=www.expressen.se}}{{cite web|url=https://www.expressen.se/nyheter/vittnena-om-explosionen-kande-bara-en-tryckvag-/|title=Explosion i Linköping: "Balkongerna bortsprängda"|website=www.expressen.se}}{{cite web|url=https://www.aftonbladet.se/a/jdwE9b|title=Uppgift: Man i mc-gäng mål|website=Aftonbladet}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.thelocal.se/20190608/absolutely-incredible-no-one-was-seriously-injured-in-linkping-explosion-police|title='Absolutely incredible' no-one was seriously injured in Linköping explosion: police|date=2019-06-08|website=www.thelocal.se|language=en-GB|access-date=2019-06-09}}{{cite web|url=https://www.aftonbladet.se/a/mRv92O|title=Ett flerfamiljshus kan behöva rivas|website=Aftonbladet}}{{cite web|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/sweden-explosion-today-linkoping-bomb-squad-damage-latest-news-a8948266.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190609132620/https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/sweden-explosion-today-linkoping-bomb-squad-damage-latest-news-a8948266.html |archive-date=2019-06-09 |url-access=limited |url-status=live|title=25 people injured and bomb squad deployed after Sweden explosion|date=7 June 2019|website=The Independent}}{{cite web|url=https://nypost.com/2019/06/07/25-injured-in-swedish-blast-that-hit-2-apartment-buildings/|title=25 injured in Swedish blast that hit 2 apartment buildings|agency=Associated Press|date=7 June 2019|website=New York Post}}
