"We have no reason today to believe that Russia wants to drag Norway or any other country directly into the war, but the war in Ukraine makes it necessary for all NATO countries to be more on their guard," he said during a press conference on Monday.According to the Norwegian Defense Minister, Bjørn Arild Gram, raising the military alert level will mean taking corresponding measures in logistics, communications and security.The Norwegian military was deployed to protect this crucial energy infrastructure in September, with Oslo receiving support from British, Dutch, French and German armed forces.Norway has become Europe's leading natural gas supplier after Russia cut deliveries and national governments tried to wean themselves off Russian energy, following the outbreak of the Ukraine war.In recent weeks, several Russians have been arrested in Norway for illegally flying drones over the territory or violating bans on taking photos at sensitive sites."
