Russian operatives have been apprehended within a NATO member state as the Kremlin intensifies its hybrid warfare tactics against the West. Norway maintains an extensive land boundary with Russia, stretching nearly 124 miles across the Scandinavian nation's remote northern region.

Russian intelligence operatives have been apprehended attempting to penetrate Norway, disguising themselves as fishermen and tourists, with Kremlin agents discovered entering the northern port city of Kirkenes, according to Norway's armed forces.
