- Norway has arrested a Chinese citizen on suspicion of attempted espionage, marking the second such case this month.
- The man was suspected of "attempted illegal intelligence activities in Nordland" and has been remanded in custody for four weeks, though his lawyers deny the allegations.
- Earlier this month, a Chinese woman was accused of using a Norwegian company as a front to establish a satellite data receiving station, which could harm fundamental Norwegian interests.
- Authorities conducted searches at two locations linked to the previous arrest, including the Andoya Spaceport, a key European space facility.
- Norwegian intelligence agencies consistently identify China and Russia as the primary espionage threats, noting their efforts to undermine the country's crisis response and economic competitiveness.
