Finland's Elisa said on Monday that it had finished the repair of its two undersea telecommunications cables that were damaged in the Baltic Sea on Dec. 25. Finland on Dec. 26 seized the Eagle S tanke

Elisa has announced that it has succesfully repaired two submarine cables connecting Finland and Estonia, owned by Elisa, that were damaged on Wednesday evening, December 25, 2024. The cables had been severed, and weather conditions affected the timeline for the repair work.

Finnish police said on Tuesday they had recovered a lost anchor from the seabed as part of an investigation of suspected sabotage against power and internet cables in the Baltic Sea.

The Eagle S, thought to be part of Russia’s “shadow fleet,” was detained in December following suspected sabotage.

On Tuesday, January 7, specialists discovered the anchor of the tanker Eagle S at the bottom of the Gulf of Finland. The vessel likely "lost" it during the breakage of several underwater cables, Yle reports.

Finland’s National Bureau of Investigation said the ‘location where the anchor was found is along the route’ of the seized Eagle S tanker

Finnish authorities have recovered the anchor of the tanker Eagle S, which is suspected of damaging cables in the Baltic Sea. Investigators will inspect the anchor starting on Tuesday. Finnish radio Yle reported that the anchor of the tanker Eagle S was located at the bottom of the Gulf of Finland and brought to the surface.
