"Police view such incidents in public spaces as very serious, and are investigating the case with substantial resources and high priority. Investigators were examining the scene, while dogs, drones, and helicopters were involved in the search for one or more potential perpetrators."
"Police commander Michael Dellemyr told TV2 that police would not comment on anything related to the type of damage, what it is that has exploded and similar details, beyond the fact that there has been an explosion because it is very early in the investigation."
"He later told TV2 that police have an idea of the cause, adding: It appears to us that this is an act carried out by someone. He said investigators were talking to witnesses, and TV2 reported that a bomb squad was at the scene."
An explosion struck the US embassy in Oslo around 1:00 am on Sunday, causing minor material damage to one entrance but no injuries.
