Looks like ships Belos (SE) and Turva (FI) are investigating not only broken comms cable C-Lion 1 but also Nordstream at the moment. During the day they have been stationary over both the pipelines and the cable. Those are right next to each other. Curly line = cable. Replay: marinetraffic.com

Network engineer? Inquisitive? We don't know this. But the AIS-track below indicates a 3rd cable, a brand new one, might be affected by last days suspected sabotage. Goes by Aurora, GlobalConnectCarrier. Maybe AS42525? Is it online? Did it see any issues? www.submarinecablemap.com/submarine-ca...

Left FT-991 RX on 10m FT8 today, Cushcraft R6000 antenna (superb verticals!) - not a bad spread ... Should do some TX, been a while since I've been lower than 2m!

RU ship Yantar has been shadowed by various naval units last days (Guardian). Still, UK+US find her activities right now interesting enough to have two P8 aircraft on back-to-back missions over her. Either the ship shadows left or Yantar's activities requires the additional capabilities of P8's

RU intel/sabotage ship Yantar was 188 meter inside Ireland's exclusive economic zone as she yesterday made her presence known for 6 min. As previously reported she was right next to an important LNG pipeline (and a comms cable) That distance is 72 meter. This was a meticulously orchestrated show.
