On Christmas Day, the EstLink 2 undersea power cable between Finland and Estonia was severed, with Finland suspecting Russia. Finnish authorities seized the Eagle S, part of Russia's “shadow fleet,” after it passed over the damaged cable. The ship’s missing anchor is believed to have caused the incident. Similar attacks on NATO undersea cables have heightened concerns over infrastructure vulnerabilities.
