Russian special services may be preparing sabotage in Norway – media

Norwegian intelligence services have warned of the threat of Russian sabotage in 2027. According to them, individuals associated with Russian intelligence have already studied objects in the country that could become targets for attacks.

This was reported by Reuters with reference to the Norwegian Police Security Service (PST).

The department stated that the threat of sabotage from Russia has increased significantly during 2026. Therefore, Norwegian intelligence services do not rule out that the Russians may take concrete actions as early as next year.

Defense enterprises and companies that cooperate with them are primarily at risk. Russian intelligence services may also target energy facilities and other critical infrastructure.

Norway has not yet recorded any sabotage attempts on its territory. However, the PST is aware that people connected to Russian intelligence have already been gathering information about potential targets.

Fears of Russian sabotage in Europe have intensified after events in Germany. In September, German authorities accused Russia of attempting to attack Leipzig/Halle airport with drones. After that, EU countries began to demand new sanctions against Moscow.

Russia has traditionally denied involvement in sabotage and hybrid attacks in Europe. The Russian embassy in Oslo has not yet commented on the warning from Norwegian intelligence services.
