Norway is putting its military on a raised level of alert, moving more personnel on to operational duties and enhancing the role of a rapid mobilisation force in response to the war in Ukraine – although the prime minister said there was no reason to believe Russia intended to invade.

There are no indications that Russia is expanding its warfare to other countries, but the increased tensions make us more exposed to threats, intelligence operations and influence campaigns.”

Norway would also seek to bring its new fleet of US-made P-8 Poseidon submarine-hunting maritime patrol aircraft into regular operation at a faster pace than originally planned, the chief of defence, Gen Eirik Kristoffersen, said.

The air force had called off training in the US with its F-35 fighter jets, preferring to keep them in Norway, said Kristoffersen

Norway has a 198km (123-mile) border with Russia in the Arctic.

Last week, Norwegian authorities detained a man who they said posed as a Brazilian scholar but was allegedly a Russian intelligence officer suspected of spying.
