Details
The Swedish police have drawn up a report listing potential threats to the Eurovision Song Contest in Malmö, with the semifinals to be held on May 7 and 9 and the final on May 11.
Most of the report is classified. But, according to local media, the threats include cyberattacks, DoS attacks, civil disobedience, and interception of television broadcasts.
Preparations to ensure the security of the contest are being made in view of the fact that Sweden, according to the police, is a "priority target" for Islamist terrorist organizations.

It is expected that about 100,000 guests from different countries will come to Malmö, home to about 360,000 people.
As reported by Swedish broadcaster SVT Nyheter, the threat of drone attacks is of particular concern, so Sweden will close the airspace over Malmö to protect its territory. In addition, a special C-UAV technology will be used to prevent drones from flying over.
