NATO's response will be united and decisive if it turns out that a gas leak in a pipeline between Finland and Estonia in the Baltic Sea on Sunday was caused by an "external act", NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said ahead of meetings at NATO headquarters in Brussels on Wednesday.
- If it turns out to be a deliberate attack on NATO's critical infrastructure, it will be serious. And it will be met with a united and decisive response from NATO, says Jens Stoltenberg.
Finland suspects outside forces of involvement.
- The damage to the underwater infrastructure is being taken seriously, and its causes have been investigated since Sunday. It is likely that the damage to the pipeline and communication cable is due to external activity, the Finnish president said on Sunday on the social media X, formerly known as Twitter.
