COPENHAGEN, Nov ‌5 (Reuters) - ​Sweden ​will reintroduce border controls at its ‌internal borders for a ⁠period of six months ‌based on an assessment ‌that there is a serious threat to ​public order and internal security, its government ⁠said in a statement on Thursday.

"The ​assessment is based primarily on the serious security ​situation resulting ‌from Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, ⁠which has led to hybrid threats and hostile ⁠actors moving and operating within ​the Schengen area," it said.

The border control will be in ‌place for six months, from November 12 ‌of 2026 ⁠to May 11 ‌of ​2027.
