The tightening of patrols in the Baltic Sea involves additional observation and reconnaissance flights.

The North Atlantic Alliance is stepping up patrols in the Baltic Sea after the Balticconnector gas pipeline between Finland and Estonia and communication cables there were damaged. The NATO press service reported this on October 19.

Alliance measures include additional surveillance and reconnaissance flights and the deployment of maritime patrol aircraft, AWACS aircraft and drones.

NATO will also send a flotilla of four NATO mine boats to the Baltic Sea.

“We continue to monitor the situation closely and are in close contact with our Alliance members Estonia and Finland and our partner Sweden,” acting NATO spokesman Dylan White said.

We remind you that the Balticconnector gas pipeline connecting Finland and Estonia to the Baltic Sea was damaged on the night of October 8. Finland, which is conducting its own investigation into the incident, admitted that “several states” were behind the accident. The country’s political and military leadership admitted Russia’s involvement in this incident.

According to Estonian media, a Chinese ship may have been involved in the damage to the Balticconnector gas pipeline.

In addition, damage to the underwater telecommunications cable running between Estonia and Sweden was discovered under the Baltic Sea.

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg promised a decisive response from the Alliance if the gas pipeline sabotage is confirmed.
