The Norwegian police have announced that they are seeking a suspect involved in an explosion that occurred at the U.S. embassy in Oslo during the night. The police have released surveillance footage showing a person dressed in all black with a hood, whose face is not identifiable. This person was seen carrying a large-looking backpack at the time of the incident. While there were damages to the embassy entrance, officials reported no other injuries from the explosion.

According to police reports, the explosion was caused by an improvised explosive device (IED), a term typically used to describe homemade explosives. Although police have ruled out the use of a hand grenade in this incident, they have not provided further details regarding the type of explosive used. The situation raises concerns considering that the police suggested there may be a connection between this incident and the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East.

The release of the surveillance images marks a significant step in the investigation, as the police aim to identify the suspect and understand the motivations behind the attack. The embassy's security measures may also come under scrutiny as a result of this incident, highlighting the potential for political implications stemming from acts of violence targeting diplomatic missions. As investigations continue, both local and international communities are watching closely to see how this situation unfolds.
