Sweden's Security Threat Level Remains High

Published: 2024-06-28

The security situation in Sweden remains serious, with the country's support for Ukraine seen as increasing the threat level, according to the Swedish Security Service (Säpo).

While Sweden is no longer a primary focus for violent extremists' propaganda, the terror threat level remains high, rated four on a five-point scale.

Recently, Iran has been reported to use criminal networks within Sweden to target perceived threats.

Additionally, Russia has increased its risky activities aimed at disrupting western nations, including Sweden.

Säpo is actively working to prevent attacks from foreign powers, emphasizing the need for everyone to take the situation seriously.
