Suspected Sabotage in Baltic Sea Sparks International Response
Elisa detected a fault on Wednesday, prompting a Border Guard and helicopter search.
Fitburg, a 132-meter ship from St Petersburg to Haifa under St Vincent and the Grenadines flag, had 14 crew detained.
Cross-border agencies coordinated, with Elisa noting domestic services unaffected by rerouted traffic.
Physical repairs are delayed due to adverse weather.
Since 2023, 11 suspected acts in the Baltic Sea linked to Russia and NATO's hybrid threats.
