Estonia dispatched a navy ship to patrol a subsea power link a day after Finland seized an oil tanker suspected of damaging five cables with its anchor in what was the third such incident in about a year.
The Raju military vessel was deployed on Friday morning to guard EstLink 1, a 105-kilometer (65-mile) submarine line that connects the electricity systems of the Baltic and Nordic nations across the Baltic Sea after EstLink 2 was damaged by the ship.
