Finnish authorities are currently investigating an incident involving a Russian-linked oil tanker that may have caused damage to a power cable connecting Finland and Estonia. The cable, which runs under the Baltic Sea, was disconnected from the grid on Christmas Day, leading Finnish officials to label the incident as ‘grave sabotage’.
The investigation is ongoing as authorities work to determine the exact cause of the outage and whether the Russian oil tanker played a role in damaging the power cable. This incident has raised concerns about potential security threats in the region and has prompted Finnish officials to look into the matter further.
With tensions already high between Russia and several European countries, including Finland and Estonia, this incident adds another layer of complexity to the situation. The outcome of the investigation could have significant implications for the relationship between these neighboring countries and for the security of the Baltic Sea region as a whole.
