MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The Swedish Security Service (SAPO) is examining new information about a potential terrorist threat, its press service said Tuesday.
"We are currently collecting information and intelligence and have taken some measures. We collaborate with partners, both nationally and internationally," SAPO's press service said, adding that this information could not have been dismissed.
The press service did not provide any details regarding the threat's character, though specified that the new data would not affect the security situation in the country. According to the statement, the threat level in Sweden will remain at elevated level three on a scale from one to five.
According to the statement, SAPO and the Swedish police are jointly examining the new information.
Following a series of terrorist attacks in Paris that claimed the lives of 130 people in November 2015, Stockholm increased the threat level in the country. On March 2, Sweden lowered the terrorist threat level in the country from high to elevated.
