Estonia start naval patrols to protect undersea cables DW 12/27/2024
Briefly

Estonia has intensified its naval patrols to safeguard undersea cables, following incidents of suspected sabotage. Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna emphasized the need for a response to threats against critical infrastructure.
The recent seizure of an oil tanker by Finland has raised concerns about vessels linked to Russia's 'shadow fleet,' which are allegedly used to evade Western sanctions and may have caused damage to subsea installations.
NATO's Secretary General announced plans to enhance the alliance's military presence in the Baltic Sea in response to increasing tensions and infrastructure threats.
Finnish authorities suspect that the seized oil tanker was involved in damaging the Estlink 2 submarine cable, reflecting a broader pattern of frequent damage to undersea infrastructure in the region.
