Norwegian police are investigating an attack on the U.S. Embassy in Oslo that caused no injuries and only minor damage.<\/p>\n

Amid the war on Iran, the Norwegian Justice Minister Astri Aas-Hansen is deploying ‘considerable resources’ to search for potential multiple perpetrators.<\/p>\n

‘This is an unacceptable incident that we are taking very seriously,’ she told Norwegian press agency NTB.<\/p>\n

A ‘loud bang’ was reported at the U.S. embassy in Oslo early Sunday morning at 1 a.m. local time (Saturday 7 p.m. ET), according to police, and eyewitnesses told Reuters that they saw thick smoke by the entrance of the consular section.<\/p>\n

‘There was a very thick layer of smoke on the street,’ said Sebastian Toerstad, 18, a high school student who drove past the embassy at the time of the explosion.<\/p>\n

‘There was some damage to the entrance.’<\/p>\n

No explosive devices had been found in the area, according to police.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

‘Investigations have been carried out at the scene with the aid of dogs, drones and a helicopter, searching for one or more potential perpetrators,’ the Oslo police department said in a statement.<\/p>\n

PST, the Norwegian police security service, called in additional personnel following the incident but has not changed the country’s terror threat level, according to communication adviser Martin Bernsen.<\/p>\n

PST operations manager Mikael Dellemyr does not ‘connect’ the attack to U.S. bombings in the Middle East or terrorist or Iranian retaliation.<\/p>\n

‘It is far too early’ in the investigation, he told Oslo’s TV 2.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reached out to the State Department for comment, but they did not immediately respond.<\/p>\n

The Associated Press and Reuters contributed to this report.<\/i><\/p>\n
