NATO Boosts Baltic Sea Presence, Seized Russian "Shadow Fleet" Tanker Was "Spying on NATO Ships"?

NATO will bolster its presence in the Baltic Sea after suspected sabotage of undersea power cables and internet lines. Finland requested NATO support following damage to the Estlink 2 cable connecting Finland and Estonia. Finnish authorities seized the Russian-linked tanker Eagle S, suspected of causing the damage, and found it equipped with spy devices monitoring NATO activity. Baltic nations have heightened security, with Sweden and Estonia increasing patrols. The incident underscores ongoing threats to critical infrastructure since Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
