Norway is considering constructing a fence along its 123-mile border with Russia. The potential move, as a minister said, is inspired by Finland's similar project and aims to prevent an influx of refugees, similar to the 2015 incident when 5,000 migrants crossed from Russia to Norway at the only border point. The fence is also seen as a measure to counter possible hybrid warfare tactics by Moscow, which could involve the use of migrants.
