Nato boosts its presence in Baltic Sea after suspected sabotage of undersea cables

# Nato plans to boost its presence in the Baltic Sea in an effort to curb suspected sabotage of an undersea power cable and four internet lines. Estonia earlier launched a naval operation to guard an electricity link. This follows Finland’s seizure of a ship carrying Russian oil, suspecting a link to an outage of the Estlink 2 undersea power cable linking Estonia and fibre optic lines. Reuters reports Baltic Sea nations as being on high alert for acts of sabotage after a string of unexplained outages.
