Prime Minister of Finland: "The Estlink 2 electricity transmission connection [undersea power cable] between Finland and Estonia has been disconnected this afternoon. Authorities are still on standby over Christmas and are investigating the matter. The interruption of the transmission connection will not affect the electricity supply of Finns."

Closing the Baltic Sea to vessels flying certain flags should not be ruled out.
