An explosion in central Oslo has caused disruption, as police detonated a grenade and arrested one individual. Norwegian authorities are investigating the blast, urging the public to stay clear due to potential additional explosives. Drones were observed above Oslo’s city center, leading to a controlled detonation by law enforcement.
Residents were notified of the blast through mobile alerts, advising them to avoid windows as an explosive device was still in the vicinity. The detonations occurred near a university campus, with no reported injuries. Police cordoned off the area after discovering a hand grenade and other undetonated devices, believed to have been placed on a tram line.
Witnesses described the explosions as deafening, with one resident recalling seeing a hooded individual fleeing the scene. The area near Bislett Stadium was said to have a burning odor. This incident follows recent drone sightings in Oslo and arrests related to UAV flights over Akershus Fortress.
