Did you wonder why Hesa ​​Fredrik suddenly spoke for the first time today?

There is an explanation.

- It happened within the framework of our test activities, a pre-recorded message that we tested in Karlskrona and Ronneby for the first time.

It was planned that way, explains Peter Åstrand, who sent out the message from the staff room at Oskarsvärn.

Should you have warned the public about this?

- Maybe we should have done that, but if the voice and the alarm went through, you can say that we succeeded.

It's not really weird at all and the aim was not to scare people.

The warning system for important messages to the public, VMA, is tested four times a year, the so-called Hesa ​​Fredrik.

This is done on the first non-holiday Monday in March, June, September and December.
