NATO's Baltic Century Operation
NATO has initiated a naval operation known as Baltic Sentry, aimed at countering malign maritime actions against undersea infrastructure among member states. The operation focuses on safeguarding vital cables and pipelines in the Baltic Sea, as recent incidents of severed undersea cables have raised alarms. Notably, Finland’s decisive action against the oil tanker Eagle S, which damaged cables, has set a precedent for rapid response and accountability. This proactive stance emphasizes the alliance's commitment to protecting critical infrastructure and deterring future threats from adversarial maritime actors.
