Because of the russian ukraine situtation, the nord stream explosion and and suspicious drone activity near oil and gas infrastructure the police is asking citizens to watch out for suspicious drone activity.

The interesting/funny thing here is that the police had to make a followup statement saying they are getting too many reports of things that aren't suspicious, some apparently the planet Jupiter or boat lights in the sea.

It is a legitimate concern and there have been some arrests already, but it's all still developing. I'm very curious about the actual number of false reports here though, but I guess there's no way to get that anytime soon.

The police ask people to report drones
An unusually large number of unidentified drones have been observed on the Norwegian continental shelf, at land-based oil and gas facilities and at power plants on land recently, often at night and without light.
The West police district is working to find out whether this could be foreign intelligence, says police chief Gustav Landro to NRK. He asks the companies and the people to pay close attention and call the police if they see drone activity over oil and gas facilities or power plants.

Only yesterday, the West police district received 42 reports about drones, writes VG.
Many of the observations turn out to be legal drones, or completely different things.
Several of them turned out to be the planet Jupiter, says chief of staff Gustav Landro in the West police district.
