Nato launches ‘Baltic sentry’ mission after suspected cable sabotage
Nato announced the launch of a Baltic Sea monitoring mission in response to recent suspected sabotage of undersea cables. The initiative, named "Baltic Sentry," aims to enhance vigilance in the region amid rising tensions, particularly with accusations directed at Russia for potentially orchestrating these disruptions as part of a hybrid warfare strategy against the West.
The decision came during a meeting in Helsinki, where Nato chief Mark Rutte detailed that the mission would utilize various assets, including frigates and maritime patrol aircraft. While he refrained from disclosing the specific number of vessels involved to maintain operational security, he emphasized the importance of this mission in light of three recent incidents of suspected sabotage in the Baltic Sea, which have damaged crucial telecommunications and power infrastructure.
