On 12 January 2025, Swedish Defence Minister Carl-Oskar Bohlin reported anchor drag marks found at the Nordbalt undersea electric cable between Sweden and Lithuania, likely caused by the vessel Yi Peng 3. This indicates that all three undersea power cables linking the Nordic and Baltic countries may have been subjected to sabotage attempts. Additionally, the tanker Eagle S is suspected of damaging one cable between Estonia and Finland and nearly hitting another. These incidents may be linked to the upcoming disconnection of Baltic states from the Russian power grid, raising concerns about infrastructure vulnerability. The events highlight the risk to critical energy infrastructure in the Baltic Sea region amid geopolitical tensions.
