Finland Detains Russia-linked Oil Tanker Suspected of Cutting Undersea Cable.
The Finnish Border Guard has intercepted and detained the oil tanker Eagle S, suspected of damaging the Estlink 2 submarine power cable that connects Finland and Estonia. The tanker, currently under police control in Finnish waters, is believed to have severed the power line and multiple communication cables in the Gulf of Finland. The Cook Islands-registered vessel, reportedly part of Russia’s shadow eet, was carrying oil from Russia to Egypt when the incident occurred. Finnish authorities suspect the ship deliberately disrupted the cables, as its movements near the area were recorded by the Marinetraffic monitoring service. The Eagle S reportedly slowed signicantly while passing over the cable.
