Summary

Estonia has begun naval patrols to protect critical undersea infrastructure, such as the Baltic Sea power cable connecting to Finland, following suspected sabotage.

This comes after Finland seized a Russian-linked “shadow fleet” oil tanker, suspected of damaging the Estlink 2 cable with its anchor.

Finnish authorities allege the ship may be part of a fleet used to evade Western sanctions.

NATO has announced plans to enhance its Baltic Sea presence as undersea cable damage becomes increasingly frequent, raising security concerns across the region.
