Dog hit by fireworks
Earlier this afternoon, both dog and owner got – almost – the worst possible start to the New Year celebration when someone fired a salute in their direction on the square in Kristiansand.

At Heimdal in Trondheim, around 15 young people have fired fireworks at a block of flats.
– There is no damage to the block, and there had been a confrontation between them and those who live there, says operations manager Anlaug Oseid in Trøndelag police district to TV 2:
– The young people had been given a bit of a slap in the face. They disappeared, so we searched for them for a while, but did not find them.
