Summary

The undersea Estlink-2 power cable linking Finland and Estonia experienced an outage on Wednesday, prompting an investigation, Finnish Prime Minister Petteri Orpo announced.

Authorities stated the disruption will not affect electricity supplies in Finland or Estonia.

Concerns are heightened due to recent incidents involving undersea infrastructure in the Baltic, including severed data cables in November and the 2022 sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines.

The cause of the Estlink-2 outage remains unclear.

        What I think people over here actually will do, is - start patrolling the shorter, more critical cable and pipeline routes with sea drones - and if the drone operators spot a ship with a lowered anchor, summon a proper military vessel to do more complex procedures.

              Well tbh Medvedev has this suicidal tendency to start a nuclear WW3. He can’t wait to press that damn red button. He is the likely successor and as much as I despise putin, at least he’s “just” a bloodthirsty sociopath who doesn’t want to unalive himself

              The first rule of history is that it can always get worse.

              Maybe it doesn’t. Or maybe somebody starts a nuclear war to avenge Putin.
