A Ukrainian drone attack damaged a pipeline and caused a fire in Krasnodar Krai, Russia, also damaging ships at a nearby port, with no reported casualties. The incident follows previous attacks on Russian infrastructure, including oil and LNG facilities, as part of Ukraine's efforts to disrupt Russian logistics.
Finnish police are investigating a Chinese cargo ship, the Newnew Polar Bear, in connection with the suspected sabotage of a pipeline between Finland and Estonia. The ship's movements coincided with the time and place of the pipeline damage, which was caused by an external mechanical force. Finnish authorities will cooperate with Chinese authorities to establish the ship's role. Samples from the crime scene are being analyzed, and it will take at least five months to repair the pipeline, leaving Finland reliant on liquefied natural gas imports for the winter.
