Finnish coastguards said on Saturday they were monitoring repairs of a Russian underwater cable carried out by a Russian vessel in the Gulf of Finland.
Several undersea telecom and power cables have been severed in the Baltic Sea in recent months, with experts and politicians accusing Russia of orchestrating a hybrid war against Western countries supporting Ukraine.
"The coastguards in the Gulf of Finland are monitoring... a Russian vessel repairing a broken Russian cable," they said on X.
According to local authorities the undated incident took place within Finland's exclusive economic zone.
The spate of incidents has led NATO countries to launch in January a patrol mission to protect critical underwater infrastructure.
Aircrafts, frigates, submarines and drones have been deployed as part of the new operation, titled "Baltic Sentry."
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
