Two Damaged Cables Between Finland and Estonia Repaired in Baltic Sea
Two Elisa communication cables that were damaged between Finland and Estonia on 25 December 2024 have been successfully repaired. This is reported by Yle with reference to the company's statement.
According to Elisa, the weather conditions affected the completion of the repair, but the damage itself did not have a significant impact on the company's telecommunications services in Finland and Estonia.
Repairs to another damaged offshore cable, the state-owned Cinia, are also expected to be completed soon.
As The Gaze previously reported, four submarine communication cables were damaged in the Baltic Sea in late December. On 26 December, Finland detained the oil tanker Eagle S of the Russian shadow fleet due to the breakage of one of the cables.
The media reported that equipment that could be used to spy on aircraft and ships was found on board the vessel.
