The Finnish police boarded an oil tanker suspected of damaging undersea cables, raising fears of a Russian shadow campaign against NATO nations supporting Ukraine.
The Estlink 2 submarine cable, critical for electricity between Finland and Estonia, was cut, along with four other cables, leading to investigations of sabotage.
Russian ships have been sighted in strategic areas linked with recent cable damages, highlighting the possibility of a coordinated strategy against NATO infrastructure.
Authorities labeled the cable cuts as aggravated vandalism, furthering concerns over the safety and security of undersea communications as geopolitical tensions rise.
