Suspected Deliberate Act Damages Subsea Gas Pipeline and Telecom Cable Linking Finland And Estonia
Portfolio Pulse from Vandana Singh
A subsea gas pipeline and a telecommunications cable connecting Finland and Estonia have been damaged in a suspected deliberate act. The Balticconnector gas pipeline was shut down due to a potential gas leak, and the damaged telecommunications cable raised concerns about regional connectivity. Despite the damage, Finland's energy supply remains stable, and no gas shortages are expected. The incident has caused European gas prices to surge, reaching a six-month high. Finnish telecommunications operator Elisa confirmed that the damaged cable did not disrupt its services.
