Comment: Actually, the explosion did not 'rip through the buildings' because the explosion did not take place in the building(s) - it occurred outside them...
"We do not know what it is that detonated, but it is clearly some sort of explosive device. The preliminary location is outside the building, not in the building," Magnus Skoglund, the head of the police investigation, told reporters at a news conference.
At least 25 people suffered minor injuries in the blast at 7am local time (5am GMT), police said.
Detectives have launched a criminal investigation and a bomb squad was deployed as a precaution following the explosion, which blew out dozens of windows and destroyed balconies.
The cause of the blast is not yet known but police spokesman Bjorn Oberg said: "As for now, we don't have any information to believe this is terror-related."
Comment: According to some reports, noted in the tweets below, a gas explosion can be ruled out because none was used in the buildings. This is apparently why police suspect the explosion was a criminal act...
As can be seen from video and photos of the scene, most of the damage is to windows and balconies, consistent with the explosion having come from outside:
In fact, windows were smashed in buildings up several streets away, while it could be felt up to 10kms away.
The local authorities are now floating the idea that a local 'motorcycle gang' called 'Bandidos' might have pre-placed explosives outside the building, but are offering no reason as to why on Earth they would have wanted to do so.
This could have been a natural event. Perhaps the shockwave from an airburst caused by a meteor?
Before President Trump arrived to the UK this week, classless London Mayor went on television and called him a fascist, posted videos online attacking the US president and Khan's city hall approved the Baby Trump blimp to fly over London.
This is during the anniversary week of D-Day.
Well, one British woman wasn't having it and popped the Trump baby blimp.
"I'm going in..I'm going," the woman says as she walked up to the baby Trump blimp.
The woman then stabbed the blimp with a pen and a small popping sound is heard followed by gasps from onlookers.
The woman screamed "It's a national a disgrace! The President of the United States is the best President ever! Shame on you!" after she popped the balloon.

The Ohio House Criminal Justice Committee is considering the passage of concurrent House Resolution Bill 10 to urge the federal government to designate several of the Mexican drug cartels Foreign Terrorist Organizations.
The state is taking steps to fight back.
The point was stressed during a hearing last week with the Ohio House Criminal Justice Committee, which is considering the passage of concurrent House Resolution Bill 10 to urge the federal government to designate several of the Mexican drug cartels Foreign Terrorist Organizations. Currently, the drug cartels are classified as transnational criminal organizations. It would still have to seek passage of the full Ohio House legislature.
House Resolution 10:
RESOLVED, That we, the members of the 133rd General
Assembly of the State of Ohio, respectfully urge the federal
government to designate the drug cartels operating from Mexico
as foreign terrorist organizations, so that the government may
use appropriate means to mitigate and eventually eliminate the
operations of the cartels;
In Ohio and across the country families and communities have been ripped apart, while the major Mexican drug cartels like Sinaloa and Jalisco Nueva Generacion have been amassing billions of dollars off of the death and addiction of Americans.
Anti-abortion groups are claiming a small victory with the announcement. Most anti-abortion groups have targeted the practice of using aborted fetuses for vaccine and HIV research for over a decade.
According to the New York Times, the Department of Health and Human Services will cancel a $2 million-a-year contract with the University of California, San Francisco. The project heavily involves the use of aborted fetuses.
"Promoting the dignity of human life from conception to natural death is one of the very top priorities of President Trump's administration," the department said in a statement.
Tensions over abortion rights are now at a boiling point and getting worse.

Niels Hoegel, a former nurse who has admitted to the killing of 100 patients, is seen in court in Oldenburg, Germany, in March.
Niels Hoegel, a 42-year-old former nurse who is considered Germany's deadliest post-war serial killer, was sentenced to life in prison at the District Court of Oldenburg.
While summing up the trial, the judge said Hoegel's actions were "incomprehensible: That's the word that characterizes this."
The health worker had previously confessed to killing 100 patients -- aged between 34 and 96 years old -- at two hospitals in northern Germany between 2000 and 2005. However Hoegel was acquitted of 15 cases on Thursday because there was not enough evidence.

As part of the deal, Insys Therapeutics will pay a $2 million criminal fine and $28 million in forfeiture as well as $195 million to settle allegations that it violated the federal False Claims Act, while the company's operating subsidiary will plead guilty to five counts of mail fraud, according to a statement from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts.
Insys Therapeutics officials said the deferred prosecution agreement with the government is "in the best interest of the company and its stakeholders."
Half of all Americans see made-up news as a bigger problem that other key security issues, a Pew Research Center poll published Tuesday has found. Though drug addiction and affordability of healthcare remain the biggest issues in the American consciousness, "made-up news and information" beat out violent crime, climate change, racism, illegal immigration and terrorism in the survey.
More than two thirds - 68 percent - say fake news shakes their confidence in government, 54 percent say it weakens their trust in each other, and 51 percent say it impacts political leaders' ability to "get work done."
The accident, which occurred at about 6:45 a.m. EDT (1045 GMT) near the Camp Natural Bridge, a summer training site for cadets, injured 20 of them, as well as two soldiers, the academy said. The condition of injured, who were taken to hospitals, was not immediately known.
The academy offered no further details about the incident.
"So sorry to hear about the terrible accident involving our GREAT West Point Cadets," President Donald Trump said on Twitter. "We mourn the loss of life and pray for the injured. God Bless them ALL!"
Canadian clinical psychologist and public thinker Jordan Peterson has cast doubt on Islam's compatibility with democratic society.
"It is not clear to me that Islam would be compatible with democracy," he said in an interview with Hungarian newspaper Magyar Nemzet. "We have no evidence that it would be."
He said he'd failed to observe a "positive example of a successful, independent Muslim democracy", also invoking Muslim countries' generally weak record on freedom and corruption in international rankings.
"So there is a fundamental problem that is unfortunately not allowed to be discussed," Jordan Peterson was quoted as saying.
