Finland Investigates Possible Sabotage of Undersea Power Cable
Finland’s authorities are investigating a failure of an undersea power cable linking Finland and Estonia, with possible sabotage on the table. Prime Minister Petteri Orpo reassured that electricity supply remains unaffected. A Hong Kong container ship, Xin Xin Tian 2, was near the cable when it failed. Authorities are on high alert following recent incidents involving power cable cuts and gas pipeline damages in the Baltic Sea. Prior incidents have raised concerns about potential sabotage linked to Chinese vessels, including the Yi Peng 3 bulk carrier.
