Finland investigates latest ‘sabotage’ of Baltic Sea cables

Finland is investigating the possible Christmas Day “sabotage” of an undersea power cable linking the country with Estonia under the Baltic Sea.

Electricity transmission between Finland and Estonia through the Estlink 2 connection was cut at 12:26pm (1026 GMT) local time on Wednesday, according to Finnish grid operator Fingrid.

“The possibility of sabotage cannot be ruled out,” said Arto Pakhin, Fingrid’s operations manager, to public broadcaster Yle.
