Finland’s military has fired warning shots at a suspected ‘foreign submarine’ spotted in waters near Helsinki on Tuesday morning. The navy fired handheld underwater depth charges as a warning message, Carl Haglund, Finland's defence minister, was quoted as saying by Reuters. He said the target, which was spotted on Monday and then again in the early hours of Tuesday, could have been a submarine but did not comment on whether Russia was involved.

It'd be funny if they just ended up scaring the crap out of a wayward whale ...
