2 Finnish divers killed in a cave-diving accident in northern Norway
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Finland says two of its citizens have been killed in a cave-diving accident in northern Norway.
Finnish Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Tytti Pylkko said Friday the two were in a group of five Finnish divers, but had no further details.
Police in Norway's Helgeland district confirmed they were alerted early Friday to a diving accident near Mo i Rana, some 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) north of Oslo. A police statement said two people were killed and three others flown to a nearby hospital.
