Norway Raises Terror Threat Level

Published: 2024-10-08

Norway's Police Security Service (PST) has raised the national terror threat level from moderate to high, following recent incidents linked to the Israeli embassy in Copenhagen.

This decision comes amid concerns over potential threats to Jewish and Israeli targets in Norway, influenced by escalating tensions in the Middle East.

The PST has not identified specific plans for attacks in Norway but emphasizes the heightened risk due to international developments.

In response, Norwegian police have been temporarily armed to ensure rapid response capabilities.

The situation remains fluid, with authorities closely monitoring potential threats and maintaining increased security measures to protect vulnerable sites.
