Malmö police are investigating a suspected attempted murder after responding to a report of a person falling from a balcony early Saturday morning. Upon arrival at a residential building, officers and paramedics discovered a woman outside with injuries that were not immediately clear. A man has since been arrested and is considered a suspect in the case.

The incident in Malmö is one of several international news items briefly reported by SvD. In Congo-Kinshasa, authorities have reported that the ongoing Ebola outbreak has now claimed 204 lives out of 867 suspected cases, a figure higher than the World Health Organization's previous count. The African Union's health agency has warned that other African nations could be at risk.

Separately, a man was shot and killed by security personnel outside the White House in Washington D.C. after allegedly firing at Secret Service agents. The incident led to a temporary lockdown of the White House. The shooting also injured a bystander, though no Secret Service personnel were harmed.

In sports news, Iran's national football team has decided to relocate their base for the World Cup from the United States to Tijuana, Mexico, citing visa issues and logistical considerations. Meanwhile, the Swedish men's national ice hockey team suffered another defeat, losing 2-3 to Norway and jeopardizing their chances of reaching the tournament's playoff stage.
