NATO Launches Baltic Sea Patrols After Suspected Cable Sabotage
The Philippine Star|January 16, 2025
The NATO military alliance said on Tuesday it would launch a Baltic Sea monitoring mission following the suspected sabotage of undersea cables in recent months.

Several telecom and power cables have been severed, with experts and politicians accusing Russia of orchestrating a hybrid war against the West as the two sides square off over Ukraine.

The "Baltic Sentry" mission would involve "frigates and maritime patrol aircraft" among other assets, NATO chief Mark Rutte said at a regional meeting in Finland's capital Helsinki on Tuesday.

But he declined to give details on the number of vessels "because that might differ from one week to another" and he did not want to make "the enemy any wiser than he or she is already."
