Public broadcaster NRK quoted police incident commander Michael Delmer saying the blast hit the entrance of the embassy’s consular section. “At around 1 a.m. we received several reports of an explosion. We arrived shortly afterward and confirmed that there had been an explosion that hit the US embassy,” he told NRK. “There is minor damage,” he said. “We are not going to comment on anything related to the type of damage, what it is that has exploded and similar details, beyond the fact that there has been an explosion” because “it is very early in the investigation,” he said. “The police are in dialogue with the embassy and no injuries have been reported,” police said, according to the New York Post. “There is currently no information about exactly what happened or who may be involved,” they added.
