In response to suspected sabotage of an underwater cable in the Baltic Sea, Finnish authorities have seized the tanker ‘Eagle S’ for further investigation. The tanker, believed to be part of Russia’s shadow fleet, was escorted to Kilpilahti port after allegedly damaging the Estlink 2 cable. This incident follows another cable damage case involving a Chinese freighter just a month prior, raising concerns about maritime security in the region amid geopolitical tensions.
