Finnish authorities have recovered a lost anchor from the seabed in connection with an investigation into possible sabotage against critical infrastructure in the Baltic Sea. The anchor is believed to be connected to the Eagle S tanker, which was seized on suspicion of damaging power and telecom cables while navigating the region.
Finnish police recovered a lost anchor from the seabed as part of an investigation into suspected sabotage against power and internet cables in the Baltic Sea . The anchor was found in the location where the Eagle S tanker, carrying Russian oil, was suspected of dragging its anchor across the seabed, damaging the Finnish-Estonian Estlink 2 power line and four telecoms cables.
The Finnish National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) said the anchor's discovery will contribute to the progress of the criminal investigation. A Finnish lawyer representing the tanker's owner, Caravella LLC FZ, claims Finland hijacked the vessel, but this request was denied by a court. Baltic Sea nations are on high alert due to a series of outages affecting power cables, telecom links, and gas pipelines since the start of the Russia-Ukraine war in 2022
