A Danish court put two Swedish teenagers on trial on terrorism charges for having thrown two hand grenades at the Israeli embassy in Copenhagen last year.

Axar.az reports, citing France 24, the two men, aged 18 and 21, have also been charged with aggravated assault and attempted murder.

"My client pleads not guilty to the charge of terrorism," Jakob Buch-Jepsen, the lawyer for the 18-year-old, told the court. The defendant pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of aggravated assault.

"He admits to throwing two grenades... but he did not throw them at the embassy," Buch-Jepsen said, while his client, dressed in a white t-shirt, looked on.

According to Swedish media, the young man was recruited by Swedish criminal network Foxtrot while he was in secondary school.

The same teenager is also being prosecuted in Sweden for a shooting at the Israeli embassy in Stockholm on October 1, 2024.

The second defendant, wearing a black puffer jacket, pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Two explosions were reported near the Israeli embassy in the area of Hellerup in Copenhagen in the middle of the night on October 2, 2024.

According to prosecutors, the men had transported five hand grenades to the area near the embassy.

They then threw two of the hand grenades in the direction of the embassy, but they hit a nearby residential building and exploded.

Police identified the DNA of the 18-year-old man on one of the grenades, which was found in a garden, said prosecutor Soren Harbo.

The two men, aged 16 and 18 at the time, were arrested at Copenhagen's train station as they prepared to travel to Amsterdam.

A six-day trial has been scheduled, with the days spread out and it is expected to end on February 3.
