Finnish Authorities Investigate Possible Sabotage of Estlink 2 Cable Involving Tanker Eagle S

Finnish officials are investigating the oil tanker ‘Eagle S’ for suspected sabotage after damage was found on the Estlink 2 power cable in the Baltic Sea. Seven crew members are under investigation, and a detailed inspection of the vessel is underway. The incident raises concerns about Russia’s shadow fleet circumventing international sanctions. Although the Lithuanian government assures that the cable damage won’t affect the synchronization of the Baltic states’ power grid with Western Europe, experts suspect hybrid attacks from Russia may be involved.
