Finland Investigates Russia's Link to Severed Undersea Cable in Baltic Sea

Credited from: NPR

  • Finnish authorities are investigating a severed undersea cable that connects Finland and Estonia, which was discovered to have a 60-mile-long anchor drag mark linked to a Russia-affiliated vessel, the Eagle S.
  • The vessel is believed to be part of Russia's "shadow fleet," a network used to evade Western oil sanctions amidst the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
  • Following the incident, NATO plans to enhance military operations in the Baltic Sea, addressing concerns over potential sabotage against European infrastructure.
  • The disruption, which affects critical undersea cables, has led to fears of a tightened power supply in Baltic states, with the repair process expected to take months.
  • European leaders have condemned the incident, highlighting the need for more decisive action against Russia's shadow fleet operations in the region.
