Sweden Extends Maritime Checks for Underwater Intrustion

Sweden said it’s responding to a new security situation and won’t tolerate breaches as the navy tries to confirm whether an underwater vessel steered by a foreign power entered its waters.

“We have a different political security situation in the Baltic now, which means we react more quickly and more clearly state that we don’t accept this,” Rear Admiral Anders Grenstad, deputy chief of operations at the Swedish Armed Forces, said yesterday in an interview after a press conference in Stockholm.
