Stone’s throw away from Armageddon

TWO people have been arrested after throwing stones across Norway’s land border with Russia – and risking a NUCLEAR WAR.

It happened at Grense Jakobslev, just south of the Barents Sea, where a small creek – just 12 feet wide in parts – separates Norway from Russia.

Cops wrote on Twitter that border officials arrested four people for throwing stones across the creek.

Throwing stones across the border is a violation of Norwegian law, which does not allow for “offensive behaviour at the border, targeting the adjacent state or its authorities”.

It’s feared that at a time of heightened tensions, the rocks could have set off Russia’s early warning system.
