In Finland, a reported leak from the Balticconnector gas pipeline has been attributed to "external activity." Authorities have confirmed that no traces of explosives were found at the scene. Investigative experts have noted that causing damage to a gas pipeline requires specialized skills and equipment. On October 8th, operators observed an abnormal drop in pressure within the pipeline.

The Balticconnector is a gas pipeline comprising two branches, facilitating the transportation of natural gas between Finland and Estonia in response to supply and demand. Stretching over a distance of 77 kilometers, this critical infrastructure commenced operation in 2020.
