Norwegian airport briefly closed after drone spotted

The airport in Norway’s second-largest city was briefly closed Wednesday after at least one drone was spotted nearby by area residents, authorities said.
The first drone sighting at Bergen Airport was reported at 4:15 a.m., police spokesman Orjan Djuvik said, adding that the Norwegian army and state-owned airports operator Avinor were informed. Police said no suspects had been identified.
Other drone sightings were later reported.
“There can also be observations that could be other phenomenon, for instance weather,” Djuvik said, but adding that “we are unsure whether it is one or more drones, but we are sure that there is at least one.”
Bergen Airport, which has 15 gates, was shut down at around 6:30 a.m. and reopened 2 hours later. It’s the second-largest airport in Norway and serves more than 6 million passengers a year, according to the airport’s website.
Numerous drone sightings have been reported near Norwegian offshore oil and gas platforms and infrastructure in recent weeks.
