Finland's public transport agency said on Wednesday that an oil tanker suspected of damaging undersea cables in the Baltic Sea was found to have serious deficiencies and will not be allowed to operate until repairs have been made.

On Tuesday, January 7, specialists discovered the anchor of the tanker Eagle S at the bottom of the Gulf of Finland. The vessel likely "lost" it during the breakage of several underwater cables, Yle reports.

Finnish police have reported finding the anchor responsible for severing an undersea internet cable connecting Finland to Estonia.

Finnish police said on Tuesday they had recovered a lost anchor from the seabed as part of an investigation of suspected sabotage against power and internet cables in the Baltic Sea.

Finnish authorities have recovered the anchor of the tanker Eagle S, which is suspected of damaging cables in the Baltic Sea. Investigators will inspect the anchor starting on Tuesday. Finnish radio Yle reported that the anchor of the tanker Eagle S was located at the bottom of the Gulf of Finland and brought to the surface.
