Finnish authorities seized a vessel in the Gulf of Finland near Estonia’s exclusive economic zone after a critical undersea cable linking Helsinki and Tallinn was damaged, prompting an investigation into possible sabotage.
The incident, detected on December 30, 2025, led to a coordinated response by the Coast Guard, police, and defense forces.
The suspect vessel was intercepted, ordered to stop, and detained in Finnish waters.
Authorities are probing allegations of aggravated criminal damage and interference with telecommunications.
