Jens Stoltenberg said it is too early to determine what had caused the damage to the undersea gas pipeline and communications cable connecting Finland and Estonia, but said Nato would react with a “united and determined response” if it was found to be a deliberate attack.

Nato’s secretary general told reporters on Wednesday:

If it is proven that this is a deliberate attack on allies’ critical undersea infrastructure this would be a very serious incident.

And it would be met by a united and determined response from Nato.

But it remains to determine what caused the damage and therefore I think it is a bit too early to say exactly how Nato will respond – it depends on what the investigation will reveal.
