The Norwegian Police Security Service (PST) has warned of the threat of sabotage by Russian intelligence agencies against the country’s infrastructure in 2027.
This is stated in the PST’s threat assessment, released.
“We have strong reasons to expect that Russian intelligence will carry out sabotage operations in Norway over the next year,” said Inger Haugland, head of the PST’s Department for Countering State Threats.
The intelligence agency identifies defense contractors, their subcontractors, and companies providing military logistics as the most likely targets.
Critical infrastructure facilities, particularly energy companies, are also at risk.
The Norwegian intelligence service has not yet detected any sabotage attempts directly targeting the country’s facilities. At the same time, individuals linked to Russian intelligence have already been conducting reconnaissance on potential targets.
Earlier, Militarnyi reported that the United Kingdom, Norway, and the United States had thwarted secret Russian exercises near Svalbard. In the spring of 2026, Russian submarines and deep-submergence vehicles were testing technology for disabling undersea cables.
