Former Swedish Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson has called for the deployment of the army to tackle the escalating gang violence in the country, following a recent surge in shootings and bombings. Andersson suggested that the military could assist with surveillance and provide technical expertise. Two men were shot and a woman died in an explosion believed to be linked to gang conflict. Sweden may also seek additional police support from neighboring countries.
