Finland Investigates Crew Members for Undersea Cable Sabotage

Finland has charged members of the crew of the oil tanker Eagle S for the suspected sabotage of undersea cables in the Gulf of Finland. The incident, which occurred in late 2023, resulted in significant disruptions to data and communication infrastructure. The tanker was detained by Finnish authorities in December, and an investigation into the matter is ongoing. The charges against the crew members are part of a wider effort to protect critical national infrastructure from both cyber and physical threats.
