Authorities detained the boat Eagle S. and it is now being held in Finnish waters while an investigation is carried out. The vessel, suspected to be part of Russia's sanctions-evading shadow fleet, is now missing an anchor. It's full of spy technology. Nato said on Friday it will increase its presence in the Baltic Sea in response to the incident. But this is a responsibility no [Nato] ally can take away from a coastal state. A state must exercise its sovereignty within its territory, which requires presence on land, at sea, and in the air. On December 25, a fault was observed on the 150-kilometer EstLink 2 electricity cable that connects Finland and Estonia. Four other data cables were reported broken the following day.
Over the past 18 months, several cables and a gas pipeline have been damaged by ships connected to China and Russia.
