Two of the data links are marine cables operated by Elisa, running between Helsinki and Tallinn, Estonia. One also running from Helsinki to Tallinn is owned by the Chinese-owned CITIC Telecom.

The fourth cable is Cinia's C-Lion1 submarine cable, which connects Helsinki to Germany. Finnish state-owned company Cinia has pinpointed the damage to its cable southeast of the Porkkala peninsula, just west of Helsinki on the Gulf of Finland.

According to the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency (Traficom), Elisa's cables have been severed, and two other cables have sustained damage.

How many not-attack attacks are required until retaliation is on the table?

Best retaliation is more arms to Ukraine - a war that is already in progress and so you don't risk starting a new war.

They say once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, and three times is enemy action. Seems we're past that now.
