Norwegian aviation authorities faced significant disruptions as unidentified drones were spotted near multiple airports across the country, forcing flight diversions and temporary closures. At Brønnøysund Airport, police received the first report of a drone at 20:17 on September 30, with air traffic control personnel visually observing the unmanned aircraft flying dangerously close to the runway around 21:50. The incident prompted immediate police response and ultimately led to the airport's overnight closure.

The drone activity extended beyond Brønnøysund to affect Bardufoss Airport in northern Norway, where Norwegian Airlines flight DY338 was compelled to abort its journey from Oslo and return to the capital after an unknown drone was detected in the vicinity. The incident occurred at approximately 23:30 local time, marking an expansion of the drone crisis from major international hubs to regional airports serving Norway's remote northern communities.

Police efforts to locate the operators behind these drone incursions proved unsuccessful despite extensive searches. Morten Sorensen from the Nordland Police District confirmed that while authorities observed drones in the air, they were unable to locate any pilots associated with the aircraft. The coordinated nature of these incidents was evident as a Widerøe flight also had to divert to Trondheim after a drone was observed within the prohibited zone of Brønnøysund Airport.

Despite the disruptions, airport operations resumed normally by morning, with Avinor spokesperson Karoline Persen confirming that the last scheduled flight managed to land as planned before the overnight closures. The repeated nature of these incidents—with similar drone sightings reported at the same airport just days earlier—has raised concerns about aviation security in Norway's northern regions, where Bardufoss Airport serves both civilian and military operations in a strategically important location.

A Swedish court has convicted six individuals for their involvement in the murder of a 41-year-old gang leader in the Berga district of Linköping during the summer of 2024. The Linköping District Court delivered verdicts in the case, which involved eight defendants originally charged with participation in the killing. The court established that the murder was carried out according to a criminal plan orchestrated by members of an organized crime network based in the Berga area.

The victim was fatally shot in a public space near Berga Church in Linköping on August 13, 2024. Multiple gunshots struck the man in his back and head during the daylight incident, which occurred near residential buildings and a playground. Several members of the public witnessed the shooting, adding to the evidence presented during the trial.

Court proceedings revealed that a 14-year-old boy fired the fatal shots that killed the gang leader. The teenager, who has admitted to the killing, was not prosecuted due to being below the age of criminal responsibility under Swedish law. Instead, prosecutors focused on the eight older individuals allegedly involved in planning and facilitating the murder, all of whom had denied the charges against them.

Evidence presented by prosecutors included extensive documentation of movement patterns through surveillance footage, GPS data from electric scooters, and mobile phone analysis. The court determined the victim had been lured to the crime scene under the pretense of a drug transaction, with communication occurring through a special Snapchat account and a dedicated mobile phone later found buried in nearby woods. Six of the eight defendants were found guilty, with two receiving life sentences for murder while others were convicted of aiding the killing.
