Attack in Oslo
Man throws Molotov cocktails at royal palace
A man sitting in an electric wheelchair threw two incendiary devices at the Norwegian Royal Palace in Oslo on Monday. The background to the crime is still completely unclear.
According to Oslo police, the man initially told an eyewitness that he was carrying a bomb. He then threw two Molotov cocktails at the castle at the back of the building.
Flames broke out, but had already been extinguished. The situation was under control and the man was quickly apprehended, according to the police.
Flames in front of a castle door
The background to the crime initially remained completely unclear. Footage published by the newspaper "Verdens Gang" showed flames in front of a large castle door and police officers extinguishing them with fire extinguishers. The royal court told the NRK radio station that it was still unclear how much damage had been caused.
The royal palace, where King Harald V resides with his wife Queen Sonja (both 87), is located in the center of the Norwegian capital Oslo. It is surrounded by a large castle park.
