King Harald V transferred Monday to an Oslo university hospital, with the palace saying he was hospitalized for medical examinations and his health was improving.
The 87-year-old monarch returned to Norway aboard a medical airplane late Sunday, a day after he was implanted with a pacemaker while on holiday in Malaysia.
Harald arrived at Oslo's Rikshospital in a vehicle marked “intensive ambulance” under police escort. According to The Associated Press, the palace said he will be on sick leave for two weeks during which his son, Crown Prince Haakon, will assume the monarch’s duties.
Europe’s oldest reigning monarch was hospitalized for an infection during a vacation on the Malaysian resort island of Langkawi.
He underwent surgery at the Sultanah Maliha Hospital on Saturday to implant a temporary pacemaker due to a low heart rate, according to the royal house.
Harald had traveled to Malaysia with his wife, Queen Sonja, reportedly to celebrate his 87th birthday.

South Korea’s anti-corruption agency said it has received a new court warrant to detain impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol after its previous attempt was blocked by the presidential security service last week.

The Corruption Investigation Office for High-Ranking Officials on Tuesday did not immediately confirm how long the warrant would remain valid.

The Seoul Western District Court last week had initially issued a warrant to detain Yoon and a separate warrant to search his residence after he defied authorities by refusing to appear for questioning over Dec. 3 martial law decree.

Dozens of anti-corruption agency investigators and assisting police officers attempted to detain Yoon on Friday but retreated from his residence in Seoul after a tense standoff with the presidential security service that lasted more than five hours.

The investigators did not make another attempt to detain Yoon before the previous court warrants expired on Monday.
