HELSINKI (The Thursday Times) — Finland ki fauj ne Jumeraat ko kaha ke us ne “Khaleej-e-Finland ke ilaqe mein aik Russi jangi jahaz par hamle” ka pata lagaya hai. Is se pehle Ukraine ki security service ne kaha tha ke us ke drones ne aik Russi missile bardar jahaz ko nishana banaya, aur khayal kiya ja raha hai ke yeh khule Baltic samandar mein kisi Russi jahaz par Kyiv ka pehla hamla hai.
Finland ki difai afwaj ne kaha ke unhon ne “surat-e-haal ki pesh raft par nazar rakhi” aur Finland ko fori taur par koi fauji khatra laahiq nahin. Unhon ne yeh nahin bataya ke hamla kahan aur kab hua, ya is ka pata kaise chala. Wazir-e-Kharja Elina Valtonen ne kaha ke Baltic samandar mein surat-e-haal mustahkam aur mehfooz hai aur jahaz rani ko koi khatra nahin.
Ukraine ki security service SBU ne kaha ke us ne Budh ko Baltic ki tel bandargah Ust-Luga par raat bhar jaari drone hamle ke dauran Naro-Fominsk ko nishana banaya, jo Buyan-M class ka chhota missile bardar jahaz hai, 2022 mein pani mein utara gaya aur Kalibr aur Oniks cruise missile daagh sakta hai. Us ne kaha ke woh in ittila'at ki tasdeeq kar rahi hai ke Russi jangi helicopter bhi tabah hue. In donon daawon ki azadana tasdeeq nahin hui, aur Russia ne jahaz ke baare mein koi tabsara nahin kiya.
Estonia ke wazir-e-difa Martin Herem ne kaha ke jahaz ko Budh ko maqami waqt ke mutabiq subah taqreeban saarhe paanch baje nishana banaya gaya. Unhon ne kaha, “Humein maloom hai ke is ke baad jahaz se dhuan utha. Jahaz khud St Petersburg ki taraf wapas chala gaya.” Nuqsan ya halakaton ki nauiyat maloom nahin.
Ust-Luga mein aag
Ukraine ke General Staff ne kaha ke drones ne Ust-Luga mein petroleum masnoo'at ke paanch tankon ko nuqsan pohanchaya jin ki majmooi gunjaish derh lakh muka'ab meter hai, aik hydrocracking unit mein aag laga di, aur aik pumping station aur tankeron ko bharne wali aik jetty ko nishana banaya. Us ne Ust-Luga ko “Baltic samandar par Russia ki aham bandargahon mein se aik” qarar diya. Bandargah par lagi aag sarhad paar Estonia se dekhi ja sakti thi.
SBU ne kaha ke yeh hamla “Russia ke tel ke dhanche ko munazzam tareeqe se nakara banane aur Kremlin ke budget ki aamdani kam karne” ki us ki koshish ka hissa tha. Aik ilaqai governor ne is hafte ke aaghaz mein kaha tha ke drones ne isi bandargah par aag laga di jis se teen karkun zakhmi hue (mazeed parhein).
NATO ki sarhad par drones
Herem ne kaha ke Ukraini drones aadhi raat se subah taqreeban chhe baje tak Ust-Luga ke ilaqe ki taraf urte rahe, zyada tar Estonia ki sarhad ke qareeb lekin Russi fazai hudood ke andar. Un ke mutabiq aik drone Latvia ki jaanib se mukhtasar waqt ke liye Estonia ki fazai hudood mein dakhil hua aur phir Russia ki taraf chala gaya. Baltic riyasaton mein tainaat NATO tayyare fiza mein thay, lekin drones ko maar girana mehfooz nahin samjha gaya.
Budh ko Estonia, Latvia aur Lithuania ne apni fazai hudood mein drones ki wajah se logon ko panah lene ki hidayat ki. Ukraini wazarat-e-kharja ke tarjuman Heorhiy Tykhyy ne Moscow ke in daawon ko “be-buniyad” qarar diya ke Kyiv ne Russia par hamle ke liye Baltic fazai hudood istemal ki, lekin kaha ke “jab Russia electronic jangi zaraye se drones ko apni fazai hudood se mor deta hai to aise waqiyat pesh aa sakte hain.”
Khaleej-e-Finland, Finland aur Estonia ke darmiyan Baltic samandar ki aik tang shaakh hai jo mashriq mein St Petersburg tak jaati hai. Yahan se tel bardar jahaz aur shehri bahri jahaz guzarte hain, aur is ki teh mein data cables bichhi hain. Bartania ne is hafte kaha tha ke us ke paniyon ke qareeb Russi bahri sargarmiyon mein numayan izafa hua hai (mazeed parhein).
Fauji tajziya kar aur nigrani karne wale Black Bird Group ke shareek baani Emil Kastehelmi ne kaha ke Russia ka Baltic bahri bera “ab tak mehfooz raha tha, lekin bazahir Ukraine ko aik mauqa mila”. Unhon ne kaha ke woh is hamle ko koi sangeen kasheedgi nahin samajhte.
Yeh hamla aise waqt hua jab Americi elchi Moscow mein Vladimir Putin se baat cheet ke baad Ukraine ke sadr Volodymyr Zelenskyy se milne rawana hue (mazeed parhein).
