Finland seeks seizure of an oil tanker suspected of causing damage to a crucial undersea power cable, sparking concerns about energy security and Russian sabotage.
Finland 's national power grid operator Fingrid is seeking the formal seizure of the oil tanker suspected of damaging an electric power cable in the Baltic Sea last month. Fingrid said in a statement it had filed an application with the Helsinki District Court to seize the Eagle S to help secure its financial claim for damages related to the breakdown of the undersea Estlink 2 electricity interconnector.
last week announced that it would strengthen its military presence in the Baltic Sea following the damage caused to the Estlink 2 and similar incidents in the Baltic Sea since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Energy and communications infrastructure in particular have been targeted as part of what experts and politicians call Russia's hybrid war with Western countries.
