NATO to respond if Baltic Sea pipeline damage deliberate -alliance chief
HELSINKI/BRUSSELS (Reuters) -NATO will discuss damage to a gas pipeline and data cable running between member states Finland and Estonia, and will mount a "determined" response if the cause is proven to be a deliberate attack, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said on Wednesday. The damage on the Balticconnector pipeline and telecommunications cable was confirmed on Tuesday after one of the two pipeline operators, Finland's Gasgrid, noted a drop in pressure and possible leak on Sunday night during a storm.
