In August 2025, Finnish prosecutors indicted the captain, first officer, and second officer of the tanker 'Eagle S' on suspicion of deliberately damaging multiple undersea cables linking Finland and Estonia at Christmas 2024. The suspected method involved dragging the ship's anchor for about 90 kilometers along the seabed, causing damage estimated at at least 60 million euros to the Estlink 2 power cable and multiple communication cables. The tanker, flagged under the Cook Islands, is believed by the EU to be part of the Russian shadow fleet circumventing oil embargoes imposed due to the Ukraine war. The sabotage posed a serious threat to Finland's energy and communication infrastructure, though alternative routes maintained service. Experts and politicians characterize such attacks as part of Russia's hybrid warfare targeting western countries.
