Norway said that up to 5,000 NATO troops would take part in anti-submarine warfare exercises off its coast in early May, amid growing regional tension over alleged submarine sightings.
The exercise, named ‘Dynamic Mongoose,’ will take place from May 4 to 13 in the North Sea and Skagerrak and will involve a number of submarines, surface ships and aircraft, according to a statement posted on the Norwegian Armed Forces’ official website.
Finland, which is not a member of NATO, said on Tuesday that its navy had fired warning shots at a possible submarine in the waters off Helsinki.
In October, armed forces in Sweden, also not a NATO member, hunted unsuccessfully for a week for what they believed to be a foreign submarine in waters close to Stockholm.
