Swedish authorities escalated an investigation into suspect drone activity at its nuclear power plants, citing increased security risks for the largest Nordic nation.
Sweden’s security service took over the probe after local media reported an unidentified “large” drone flying over the **Forsmark** power plant on Sweden’s east coast, as well as near nuclear power plants in **Ringhals** and **Oskarshamn** — both in southern Sweden — on Friday. Public broadcaster SVT cited police as saying a drone had been seen again at the **Forsmark** plant on Monday afternoon.
A police spokesperson told the Expressen tabloid that the drone seen over Forsmark was able to maneuver despite strong winds in the area, and a pursuing police helicopter lost track of it over sea. Drones have also been seen flying in Stockholm over the Royal Castle, the government’s offices and the parliament over the weekend, media reported.
