Two military vehicles collided near Stampevej, close to Rønne airport on the Danish island of Bornholm, on Tuesday morning.

In unrelated news, the Danish pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk is holding its summer party at Dyrskuepladsen in Roskilde. The event is expected to draw around 20,000 guests, including several prominent Danish artists. The Danish Road Directorate anticipates increased traffic on Route 21 Holbækmotorvejen near the Roskilde S exit during the afternoon and early evening hours due to the party.

Separately, Copenhagen Police responded to an explosion at a kebab shop on Tagensvej overnight. Multiple patrols were dispatched to the scene, but no injuries were reported.
