Finnish authorities are investigating the Eagle S tanker, suspected of damaging the Estlink-2 undersea power cable connecting Finland and Estonia. The ship, registered in the Cook Islands and linked to Russia's "shadow fleet," was intercepted and taken to Finnish waters. The incident, which occurred on Christmas Day, may take months to repair and has led to heightened security concerns. Finnish officials are collaborating with NATO and EU partners to address potential sabotage and protect critical infrastructure.
