Russian ship under suspicion: Sabotage uncovered on the lower sea cable!

A serious incident in the Baltic Sea causes the alarm: a Russian oil tanker, the "Eagle S", is suspected of having damaged several submarines between Finland and Estonia. The Finnish authorities have tied the ship under the flag of the Cook Islands and initiated investigations for "severe sabotage". According to Robin Lardot from the Finnish National Investigation Office, the tanker's anchor could have hit the "Estlink 2" power cable on the ground. This reports Oe24.at .

According to official information, this is not the first incident of this kind. Last month, two more telecommunications cables in the Baltic Sea were damaged by possibly intentional actions. In these incidents, the Finnish government sees a risk to the critical infrastructure, which the Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna underlines by emphasizing that such damage cannot be regarded as mere accidents. In addition, the EU and the EU foreign commissioner Kaja Kallas announced that he would introduce new sanctions against Russia and its dubious shadow fleet, which, according to Kallas, threatens both security and the environment and fills Russia's war. This is confirmed by reports from merkur.de
