Authorities in the Nordic countries are investigating a serious threat to their energy systems, believed to originate from a foreign state.

Authorities across the Nordic countries are currently examining a serious threat directed at the energy systems of all these nations. Although the specifics of the threat remain undisclosed, it is suspected to stem from a foreign power. Swedish media outlet TV4 has reported that this threat has reached all Nordic countries, including Sweden, prompting investigations into potential connections to foreign entities. Law enforcement has indicated to the media that critical infrastructure is under increased surveillance due to this threat. A representative from the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency has acknowledged awareness of the threat and stated that they are collaborating with other organizations in response to it. The Swedish Energy Agency has confirmed it possesses information regarding the threat but is unable to comment on the specific nature of the potential risks at this time. Despite the seriousness of the situation, a spokesperson for the Swedish Ministry of Defence has noted that there is currently no direct threat to Swedish energy infrastructure.
