“We believe there are strong reasons for Russian intelligence to carry out sabotage in Norway in the coming years,” says Inger Haugland, who leads PST’s work on monitoring state actors and Norwegian counterintelligence.
In an updated threat assessment, Norway’s intelligence service says that targets for Russian sabotage could include the defense industry and the energy sector. No concrete plans have been uncovered, but PST is aware that “actors with Russian connections have explored possible targets in Norway,” Haugland says.
The border between Norway and Russia is almost 200 kilometers long.
