![This photo taken on November 5, 2019 shows a compression station of the Balticconnector marine gas pipeline in Inga (Inkoo), Finland. Finnish President Sauli Niinisto said on October 10, 2023 that a leak leading to the shutdown of a natural gas pipeline from Estonia to Finland this weekend was probably caused by "external activity." The Finnish government is to hold a press conference later on October 10 to inform about the Balticconnector marine gas pipeline leak in the Gulf of Finland.
