NATO members are considering a range of measures to address potential threats to critical underwater infrastructure.

NATO will boost its presence in the Baltic Sea after an incident involving damage to submarine cables. This decision was made by the representatives of the member countries of the Alliance, who on Monday, December 30, met at the NATO headquarters to discuss the security of critical infrastructure in the Baltic Sea, the press service reports of the Alliance.

NATO noted that the damage to the cables, which is being investigated by Finnish authorities, is one of several recent incidents in the Baltic Sea considered possible sabotage.

The Allies expressed full solidarity with Estonia and Finland. To remain vigilant, increase situational awareness and prevent future incidents, NATO is strengthening its military presence in the Baltic Sea.

NATO members are also considering other measures to address potential threats to critical undersea infrastructure, particularly through the support of the NATO Maritime Critical Undersea Infrastructure Security Center established in May this year .

We remind you that on December 25, damage was discovered on the Estlink 2 power cable running between Estonia and Finland. And the next day it became known that three more cables in the Baltic had been damaged.

The Eagle S tanker, which may be part of the Russian Federation’s “shadow fleet”, is suspected of being involved in the damage to the power cables. According to media reports, spy equipment was discovered on this ship. The investigation also revealed that the tanker was dragging its anchor for ten kilometers.
