Train travel came to a halt across much of the country as a national strike escalated, forcing the cancellation of nearly 700 departures. The industrial action impacted several key lines, leaving commuters to navigate significant disruptions to the network.
Police have launched a manhunt following a double murder in Halden during a hunting trip. The father of the suspect described the incident as completely unexpected, while the individual in custody has so far refused to speak to investigators.
