On October 31, 2026, Swedish police boarded a Russian-linked cargo ship near Gotland, suspecting ties to Russian intelligence. The operation involved an elite tactical unit that examined the crew's identities and travel documents. The vessel, operated by a company previously investigated for hybrid operations, was reported to have a Russian crew. Despite the inspection, the ship was allowed to continue its journey on November 1, 2026. Authorities have linked the shipping company to unexplained drone activity in Europe, although no direct evidence of espionage was disclosed.
