Investigation Underway into Baltic Sea Cable Outage
On Christmas Day, the Estlink 2 undersea power cable between Finland and Estonia suffered a sudden outage, raising suspicions of sabotage amid increasing attacks on underwater infrastructure in the Baltic Sea. Authorities are investigating the incident, with Finnish Prime Minister Petteri Orpo noting that the police and Border Guard are involved, and the possibility of a foreign vessel's involvement is being considered. European Union officials, including High Representative Kaja Kallas, condemned the incident, linking it to a broader pattern of sabotage attributed to Russia's shadow fleet, and indicated potential sanctions against it. Meanwhile, the outage did not lead to power shortages in either country, as backup capacity was available. This incident follows a series of similar disruptions, including damage to telecom cables and a gas pipeline, escalating concerns about security in the region. The backdrop of these events includes heightened tensions due to Russia's ongoing war in Ukraine, emphasizing the urgency for a coordinated response from EU member states.
