Norway, a NATO member that shares a border with Russia in the Arctic, will raise its military readiness, its prime minister said on Monday, stressing however that no direct threat had been detected.

"The military will as of tomorrow raise its preparedness in Norway," Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store told reporters.

Norway has overtaken Russia as Europe's main natural gas supplier following Moscow's invasion of Ukraine. In recent weeks, several Russians have been arrested in Norway for illegally flying drones in its airspace or violating photo restrictions in restricted areas. "I must stress that nothing has happened in the last day or days that has prompted us to raise our preparedness now. It is an evolution over time which has led us to take this step," Store said.
