Oslo police have secured a scene in Pilestredet following an explosion, issuing a statement at 9:11 PM local time (7:11 PM UTC) on September 23rd, 2025, urging residents to stay away from windows and the immediate area due to undetonated explosives. Heavy police presence is at the site, with authorities requesting the public to avoid the location. The situation is developing, and details regarding the cause of the explosion or potential casualties remain unclear. This incident follows earlier reports of drone activity disrupting Copenhagen Airport on September 23rd, 2025, which led to flight cancellations and diversions, with authorities investigating potential links to activities in Norway. Previous reports indicated that Danish authorities are investigating three vessels potentially linked to the Copenhagen drone activity: the Russian cargo ship Astrol 1, the Benin-flagged tanker Pushpa, and the Norwegian cargo ship Oslo Carrier 3. Danish officials have described the drone incidents as serious and have not ruled out Russian involvement. Investigations are also examining the possibility of a civilian aircraft, OY-CDT, being involved in the Copenhagen airport disruption.
