UPDATED: Sweden's military has deployed planes and ships in the Stockholm Archipelago against what it says is a foreign threat in the waters, with the size of the operation unchanged overnight.
Sweden’s Armed Forces say the alert is in response to "foreign underwater activity" in the Stockholm Archipelago.
The operation went on all night and will continue throughout Saturday according to the Armed Forces.
"This will continue until we consider that we are done," Jesper Tengroth, press officer for the Swedish military, told the TT news agency on Saturday.
He added; "We are now trying to verify the information we received yesterday, which we assess that comes from trustworthy sources, and see whether it has any substance or not."
When asked if there were any new observations throughout the course of the night, Tengroth said "Not that I know." He added that the size of the operation remained unchanged.
Defence Minister Peter Hultqvist said he was receiving regular updates from the Armed Forces, who had informed him the operation, involving around 200 troops, was "necessary and well-founded"

Sweden ready to use force to surface foreign sub as search continues
Published time: October 22, 2014 05:58
Edited time: October 22, 2014 07:56Swedish Armed forces are ready to use force if they detect any foreign submarine in the waters of the Stockholm Archipelago, the supreme commander general said as the operation in search of the underwater threat entered its fifth day.
"Our aim now is to force whatever it is up to the surface... with armed force, if necessary," Sverker Göranson said, as cited by the Local.
He added that "the most important value of the operation - regardless of whether we find something -- is to send a very clear signal that Sweden and its armed forces are acting and are ready to act when we think this kind of activity is violating our borders.”
According to Göranson, submarines are “extremely difficult” to detect and Sweden has never managed to find them in the past.
