Estonia is ramping up naval patrols in the Baltic Sea, focusing on suspicious maritime activity after the suspected sabotage of undersea cables.
The Estonian minehunter EML Sakala and two additional navy ships are tracking vessels, logging their movements, and investigating potential threats.
Recent sabotage incidents are believed to be linked to Russia's actions, although Moscow denies involvement and no conclusive evidence has been presented.
Estlink-2—one of the damaged cables—provides essential power to Estonia, and its disruption has raised energy prices although service remained uninterrupted.
The situation is indicative of a growing trend of reported sabotage in Europe, prompting NATO and EU nations to adopt a more proactive security stance.
