The government of Finland has just revealed that its gas pipeline to Estonia has been destroyed in a “deliberate” act of sabotage.
The allegation has come months after famed Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh alleged that the U.S. blew up the Russia-to-Germany natural gas pipeline in the Baltic Sea in September 2022.
Hersh reported that the pipeline was destroyed during a covert operation under the guise of the BALTOPS 22 NATO exercise.

Now another undersea gas pipeline connecting Finland and Estonia has allegedly come under attack.
In the early hours of Sunday, the Finnish and Estonian gas system operators, Gasgrid Finland and Elering, detected an “unusual” leak in the 77-kilometer (48-mile) interconnector.
“Based on observations, it was suspected that the offshore pipeline between Finland and Estonia was leaking,” Gasgrid Finland said in a statement.
“The valves in the offshore pipeline are now closed and the leak is thus stopped.”
ERR News reported that the Estonian Navy started surveying the pipeline with its equipment on Monday.
Meanwhile, the Finnish Security and Intelligence Service has also been involved in the investigation.
The Finnish operator gave no reason for the suspected leak on Monday.
However, Finnish officials, one day later, have now said their investigation of the leak will be on the premise of sabotage.
“Swedish public radio separately reported that the pipeline had been damaged and that the damage did not occur naturally, citing Finnish government sources,” Reuters reported Tuesday.
In early 2023, journalist Hersh published a bombshell report as his first Substack post.
