A Russian man has been arrested in Norway's Arctic circle under suspicion of illegally flying two drones, amid fears of sabotage after last month's Nord Stream gas pipeline blast.
It comes after several drones were seen flying near Norwegian offshore oil and gas drilling platforms in recent days, as well as a hoax bomb threat in a gas field.
The Russian man, who was not named, was arrested on Tuesday after customs officers found two drones and electronic storage devices in his luggage. He was trying to go into Norway at the only crossing point in the 123-mile border between the Scandinavian country and Russia.The man is suspected of breaching sanctions put in place after Russia invaded Ukraine, prosecutor Anja Mikkelsen Indbjor told Norwegian broadcaster NRK.
Aircraft operated by Russian companies or citizens "to land on, take off from or fly over Norwegian territory" is not allowed under Norwegian law.
