Sweden’s armed forces have deployed planes and ships in the waters near the country’s capital due to possible “foreign underwater activity” in the Stockholm archipelago, said the country’s military.

The counter-intelligence operation was carried on Friday night and will continue all Saturday, the country’s military said.

"This will continue until we consider that we are done," Jesper Tengroth, press officer for the Swedish army, told Swedish TT news agency, as cited by The Local.

He added that Sweden’s forces are now trying "to verify the information we received yesterday, which we assess comes from trustworthy sources, and see whether it has any substance or not."
