The blast caused minor damage, but no injuries were reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The incident was reported at about 1 a.m. near the embassy on Morgedalsvegen in western Oslo, the Norwegian capital. Oslo Police District said it sent major resources to the area and was in contact with embassy officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Police initially said they were investigating a loud bang or possible explosion near the embassy and did not know exactly what had happened or who might have been involved.
