Sweden's security situation is increasingly precarious, according to the Swedish Security Service (Säpo).
At a press conference, Säpo Chief Charlotte von Essen warned of a "significant risk" of further deterioration, citing rapid global developments and rising threats from foreign powers.
Russia remains the primary concern, with its aggressive stance towards the West destabilizing Europe and Sweden.
Säpo also highlighted a more complex terror threat, including violent extremism and online radicalization targeting youth.
Cyberattacks, espionage, and hybrid activities further compound the risks.
The terror threat level remains at 4 out of 5, underscoring the urgency for Sweden to bolster its security measures.
