  • Two undersea telecommunications cables in the Baltic Sea were damaged on December 25, attributed to a strong external force.
  • The cables were repaired by Finland's Elisa, as the region remains vigilant after a series of outages since the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
  • A vessel, Eagle S, suspected of causing the damage, was seized by Finnish authorities; its crew is currently under investigation.
  • Investigation suggests that the damage was likely caused by an anchor dragging across the seabed.
  • Repair of the Estlink 2 power cable and affected telecom lines could take up to seven months.
