STOCKHOLM, Oct 6 (Reuters) -

Norway's Oslo Airport temporarily paused one or several

landings early on Monday after a report of a drone sighting near

the airport, its operator Avinor said.

"One or more aircraft waited in the air until the situation

was clarified. No aircraft departed for alternative airports,"

an Avinor spokesperson said.

The Norwegian news agency cited police as saying they had

received a report around midnight that a Norwegian Air pilot

thought he saw three to five drones during an approach to the

airport.

Avinor said there had been no further disruptions to air

traffic.

NTB reported, citing police, that the observation remained

unverified.

European aviation has been repeatedly thrown into chaos in

recent weeks by drone sightings and air incursions, including at

airports in Copenhagen, Oslo and Munich.
