The Norwegian Police Security Service (PST) held a press briefing regarding the explosion that occurred at the US embassy. They confirmed that no perpetrator has yet been identified or located, and that the incident falls within expected threats based on current threat assessments. PST spokesperson Bjørn-Willy Wold emphasized that their existing threat evaluation already accounts for risks against American, Jewish, and Israeli interests, but does not indicate a heightened threat to the broader public at this moment.

Wold remarked that there are visible security measures in place and reassured the public that they are monitoring the situation closely. He highlighted that changes to the current threat level could occur if new information emerges about potential actors involved or if there are any follow-up actions that could alter the threat landscape. However, as of the current time, there are no indicators that would necessitate an adjustment of the threat level.

The incident raises concerns about security measures and the efficacy of current protective strategies at such high-profile diplomatic locations, particularly as PST has reiterated the necessity to remain vigilant in the face of other possible threats. As the investigation continues, there will likely be a focus on how to improve preventative measures to enhance the safety surrounding significant diplomatic sites, including the US embassy in Norway.
