Sweden updates hundreds of nuclear bunkers amid fears of new Cold War with Russia
The news comes as the Swedish parliament held its first war game in 20 years.
Fifty MPs - who would have the power to replace parliament in the event of an outright conflict - held the drill yesterday at a secret location.
The Speaker of Parliament, Urban Ahlin, said: 'These are secret scenarios...you were exposed to pressure. But it went really well.'
More than 60,000 nuclear bunkers were established after 1945 to protect Swedes in the event of a nuclear attack by the Soviet Union.
