The incident has renewed concern over regional energy security and triggered an increase in gas prices.

HELSINKI: Finland cannot rule out the possibility that a “state actor” was involved in damaging a Baltic Sea gas pipeline and a parallel telecommunications cable, the Finnish Security Intelligence Service said today as Nato ministers sat down for talks on the incident.

Finland, which is investigating, has said the damage was probably caused by “outside activity”, renewing concern over regional energy security and pushing gas prices higher just over a year after the dramatic Nord Stream pipeline bombings. “Who is behind this is a matter for the preliminary investigation. We do not comment on it in more detail,” he added.
