Large explosions have rocked the capital of Norway around 3pm today.
They are assumed to be terrorist attacks, though no group has yet claimed responsibility.
ABC News reports it was a massive car-bomb.
The video below shows the scene from one of the explosions
This a picture the New York Times is using:
Evert Whitehouse in Oslo emails the BBC to say:
Well it’s quite shocking, it seems unreal that places here would be targeted by bombs. Apparently the prime minister is in safety and unharmed according to media reports here. The areas that have been hit, such as the government HQ looks like an urban warzone, glass lies scattered all over the streets and a building is on fire, from what I can see on the television. The areas are being cordoned off by the police in fear of more bombs going off.
Several people have been reported as injured. One person has been confirmed dead so far by the local station NRK.
YouTube video here shows lots of broken windows.
