as posted by the channel

Kirkenes, a Norwegian town on the border with Russia, has become a target for espionage operations. The town’s proximity to Russia and nearby NATO bases has made it a target for Russian spies taking photos of military infrastructure, doing covert maritime intelligence operations and more.

WSJ follows an agent from Norway’s domestic intelligence agency, the PST, on the hunt for illegal activity.
