NATO Boosts Baltic Sea Patrols After Undersea Cable Sabotage Blamed on Russia

ai generated text

NATO has launched the "Baltic Sentry" mission to protect critical undersea cables and infrastructure in the Baltic Sea. Using assets like frigates and maritime patrol aircraft, the mission aims to monitor activity below and above the sea. The initiative follows recent cable sabotage, though Russia has not been directly implicated. The mission strengthens NATO's presence amid escalating regional tensions. Reports vary slightly on the specific assets involved.

    1. It's clear that we have to be better prepared for different kind of threats and we can see many hybrid threats around us.

    1. In that particular case, had it continued for another 12 minutes, the carnage would have been much worse.

    1. We will also strengthen NATO's military presence in the region, and of course, we will discuss the shadow fleet and what to do about it. So we are responding and will continue to ensure no country can exploit us, control our infrastructure or disrupt our societies.
    2. Across the alliance, we have seen elements of a campaign to destabilise our societies through cyberattacks, assassination attempts and sabotage, including possible sabotage of undersea cables in the Baltic Sea.
    3. It will involve a range of assets, including frigates and maritime patrol aircraft, among others, and will enhance our vigilance in the Baltic.

    1. We don't accuse anybody for anything so far. We don't do that easily without very firm proof.
    2. The security situation and the fact that strange things happen time and time again in the Baltic Sea also lead us to believe that hostile intent cannot be ruled out.
