Finnish investigators have uncovered a miles-long anchor drag mark on the Baltic Sea floor, believed to be linked to the Russia-affiliated vessel Eagle S, part of a suspected "shadow fleet" operating to bypass Western sanctions. The mark, discovered after a rupture in the Estlink-2 power cable between Finland and Estonia, raises concerns about sabotage amid ongoing tensions between Russia and the West. The Eagle S is under investigation for possible criminal offenses, including aggravated vandalism and interference with telecommunications. This incident follows a pattern of attacks on key infrastructure in the Baltic, highlighting rising risks to energy and data networks.
