Finnish authorities say they have charged the captain and two senior officers of a Russia-linked vessel that damaged undersea cables last year between Finland and Estonia.

The ship, suspected to be part of a “shadow fleet” of oil tankers used by Russia, allegedly dragged its anchor across the seabed for miles, damaging five cables.
