NATO Secretary-General announced plans to enhance patrols in the Baltic Sea region following suspicions of undersea cable sabotage involving a ship linked to Russia. Finnish authorities took control of the vessel, Eagle S, to investigate its potential role in damaging power and data cables connecting Finland and Estonia.
Finland, a NATO member since 2023, has been at the forefront of the investigation, with support from the military alliance. In response to previous incidents, NATO had already deployed additional surveillance aircraft and minehunters in the region.
