Swedish military confirms 2nd submarine search after major hunt in October
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Sweden's military says it carried out a second submarine search just a week after calling off a major hunt for a suspected underwater intruder in the Stockholm archipelago in October.
Military spokesman Jesper Tengroth on Sunday confirmed a report in Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter that the Navy searched waters near the capital on Oct. 31 after receiving a tip from a "trustworthy" person. No submarine was found.
A week earlier, Sweden had carried out its biggest anti-submarine operation since the end of the Cold War. Swedish authorities later said there was evidence that a small submarine illegally entered Swedish waters before escaping into the Baltic Sea.
