“NATO will send around 10 ships to guard important underwater infrastructure in the Baltic Sea by the end of the week, Finnish newspaper Yle reported on Tuesday. The ships will remain at sea until April and be positioned near energy and data cables to deter any sabotage attempts. The decision to step up NATO engagement follows several disruptions in the Baltic Sea in recent months, most recently a broken power cable between Finland and Estonia and four telecommunications cables during Christmas. Finland is currently conducting a criminal investigation into the oil tanker Eagle S, part of Moscow’s ‘shadow fleet’ sanctions-busting flotilla, which is suspected of causing the damage.” (01/07/25)
