“When we are talking about sabotage today, we are talking about Russia,” Beate Gangaas, the head of Norway’s counterintelligence agency PST, which organised the meeting on the sidelines of the ONS energy conference, told Reuters.
Norwegian intelligence agencies said earlier this year that Russia “may find it prudent” to carry out physical or digital acts of sabotage against targets in Norway, with its petroleum sector being the prime target.
