Flight alert sounded in eastern Norway by mistake

An aircraft alarm was mistakenly triggered in eastern Norway. On Tuesday morning, alarms went off in several places across the country.

"The alarm system that many people heard was triggered by a fault during a test by the civil defense. There have been no incidents that pose a danger to the population," Oslo police wrote to Norwegian media.

The air-raid warning went off just before 8 a.m. in several locations in Oslo, as well as in Bærum and Drøbak. It only lasted a few seconds, and no public warning was given.

The news agency NTB has tried to get a comment from Norway's crisis management authority DSB and the Norwegian Civil Defense about the alarms, but they have so far not responded or been able to comment on the incident.
