Norway warns of Russian sabotage
There are strong indications that Russian intelligence services will carry out acts of sabotage in Norway over the coming year, according to Inger Haugland of the Norwegian Police Security Service (PST).
"We observe that the threat of sabotage has become more serious," says Inger Haugland.
This trend has been developing for several years but has worsened this year, according to Haugland. Consequently, the threat level regarding sabotage in Norway has now been heightened.
"We believe there are good grounds to expect that Russian intelligence services will carry out acts of sabotage in the coming year," says Haugland.
While the security service has not disclosed any actual attempts at sabotage against Norwegian targets, it is aware that actors linked to Russian intelligence services have been mapping out infrastructure and potential targets within Norway.
Haugland declined to specify the exact targets, but noted that the defense industry and defense-related operations are the most likely targets in Norway.
