"Controversy Surrounds U.S. Carrier's Visit to Norway for Arctic Mission"
TL;DR
The Norwegian Directorate of Fisheries has warned people to avoid contact with a famous beluga whale nicknamed Hvaldimir, which may have been trained by the Russian military. The whale is a protected species in Norway and has been traveling along the Norwegian coast since 2019. It is now living in inner Oslofjord, a densely populated area, and the risk of injury due to human contact has become significantly greater. The directorate urges people to keep their distance, especially those in boats, to avoid injuring or killing the whale. The Directorate of Fisheries will monitor the whale's movements and consider different measures to protect it.
