In the wake of an explosion at the consular entrance of the US embassy in Oslo, the Norwegian Police Security Service (PST) has stated that the national threat level remains unchanged. According to a senior adviser at PST, the current assessment is that there is no increase in threat despite the incident, and the threat level will continue to be classified as 'moderate'. This suggests that while security measures are in place, the assessment does not imply an imminent danger to the public at large.

The police have since reinforced their presence at the embassy following the explosion, implementing visible security measures to ensure safety. An official from Oslo Police, Grete Lien Metlid, noted that various measures are continually evaluated and adjusted, although details on specific interventions remain undisclosed to the public. The surge in police visibility at the embassy underscores heightened awareness of potential threats while still assuring the public that significant preventative measures are in place.

Questions have been raised regarding whether the embassy had adequate security measures to prevent the incident. The police have refrained from commenting definitively on the adequacy of the security prior to the explosion, stating that evaluations and adjustments are part of their ongoing operations. The embassy has not yet responded to inquiries regarding their security protocols at the time of the incident, leaving uncertainty about the details of their preparedness during the attack.
