Russian NRK correspondent Gro Holm was stopped by Russian security guards during a live broadcast from Moscow during Saturday’s Dagsrevyen.
Holm commented on the blast that hit the bridge from mainland Russia, across the Kerch Strait and the Russian-annexed Crimean peninsula on Saturday.
– Now the police here have prevented me from speaking further, but in any case it is very incomprehensible to anyone who knows how this could have happened, said Holm on live TV.

– No problem
Then a hand, holding what appeared to be a handheld metal detector, appeared in the frame of the TV.
Hånda blocked Holm’s TV images and Dagsrevyen cut live images from Moscow.
NRK’s chief editor of the foreign department, Sofie Gran Aspunvik, tells Dagbladet that Holm is fine.
Problem with visa for NRK profile
– Gro stopped outside a mall to go live, and then the guards came and informed her that it wasn’t possible to shoot there. There was no drama, Gro packed his bags, got into the taxi and drove on, Aspunvik tells Dagbladet.
– Unpredictable things can always happen during the live report and fortunately it was a non-dramatic reason here, he adds.
