Finland says it detected strike on Russian warship in Baltic Sea
Reuters reported the detection without naming the vessel, the weapon, the location within the Baltic or any casualties aboard.
Finland says it detected a strike on a Russian warship in the Baltic Sea, Reuters reported on Thursday, an account that named neither the vessel nor the weapon and put no figure on the damage.
The report did not say which Finnish authority made the assessment, when the strike was judged to have happened, or whether anyone aboard was hurt. It carried no response from Russia's defence ministry.
Finland's coast runs along the northern shore of the Baltic, the sea it shares with Sweden, the Baltic states, Poland, Germany and Russia. Russian warships based at Kaliningrad and at ports near St Petersburg use those waters.
A strike on a Russian naval vessel there would draw in the forces of the countries around the sea. Reuters gave no indication of who it believed carried it out, and no side claimed the attack in the reporting.
Finland's government had not published the assessment cited by Reuters. Russia had not commented in the reporting.
No further detail was immediately available.
