Helsinki: Finnish police said Wednesday they had seized a vessel suspected of damaging a telecommunications cable that runs between Helsinki and Tallinn in the Gulf of Finland several hours earlier.
No details about the identity of the vessel were disclosed.
The ship is suspected of being "responsible for the damage to the cable", which is owned by Finnish telecoms group Elisa and located in Estonia's exclusive economic zone, police said in a statement.
Part of the Baltic Sea, the Gulf of Finland is bordered by Estonia, Finland and Russia.
Elisa had early Wednesday detected a fault in its cable and reported it to Finnish authorities.
