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.

Dozens of guests who dined at the upscale Stockholm restaurant Coco & Carmen have fallen ill with listeria infections, with health authorities confirming at least four cases of sepsis among the affected patrons. The outbreak has resulted in approximately 80-81 formal complaints filed with Stockholm's environmental administration regarding food poisoning, with symptoms including high fever, abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, and headaches appearing approximately 24 hours after dining at the establishment.

Health officials have expanded their investigation beyond the initial timeframe of September 25-27 to include guests who visited the restaurant on September 23-24, contacting approximately 400 people as part of the expanded tracing efforts. Currently, about 15 patients remain hospitalized, though none have required intensive care according to Maria Rotzén Östlund, an infectious disease physician with Region Stockholm. The condition of hospitalized patients varies, with some already recovering from their symptoms.

The restaurant's co-owner and chef Joakim Almquist expressed shock at the situation, stating in an email that the establishment is "distressed by what has occurred and hopes those affected recover quickly." Guests from multiple regions including Gothenburg, Örebro, and Uppsala have been identified among those infected, with many reporting severe illness lasting several days. One complainant described the experience as "torture," noting that they and their spouse had never felt so ill for such an extended period.

Coco & Carmen has temporarily closed during the investigation but is expected to reopen next week. Health authorities note that while listeria outbreaks in restaurants are uncommon, previous cases have been documented in medical literature. The exact source of the contamination remains unknown, though some guests have speculated about potential issues with shrimp served as part of the 14-course tasting menu that appears common to all complaints.
