Iltalehti (siirryt toiseen palveluun) picked up on an interview President Sauli Niinistö had with news network Al Jazeera, with the outlet unsurprisingly asking him about Turkey stalling Finland's and Sweden's Nato ratification process.
"I'm not worried because 28 countries have now said that 'yes, you're capable of joining Nato and that we see that you're worthy of getting the Article 5 coverage,'" Niinsitö said, referring to the principle of collective defence.
When asked if Niinistö had a message for Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, the Finnish president said, "it seems that a slight majority of people would like Turkey to ratify our membership, but in Erdogan's party the resistance is in the majority, so that gives you a hint of the domestic policies," Niinistö said of the suggestion that Erdoğan was playing to a domestic audience.
Niinistö also suggested that following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, hybrid threats have become a reality for Finland.
"Even though we were not expecting any military reactions from Russia, there might take place nasty things, and that's a game they know how to play," Niinistö said.
When asked to open up this comment, Niinistö said these things are "what the hybrid world includes—almost every possibility you can imagine."
Sabotage warning
Ilta-Sanomat (siirryt toiseen palveluun) carries a story on possible threats to energy infrastructure in Finland, as Russia's war of aggression in Ukraine continues.
The paper spoke with a source employed at an energy firm who said that sabotage is a possibility.
"I can't say how likely sabotage is, but I would say that I would not be at all surprised if sabotage happened during the winter," said the source.
The anonymous source said that the key factor was how quickly damage could be repaired, adding that companies are increasing security patrols and taking other precautionary measures, according to the paper.
Electricity substations, drones, disinformation, cyber attacks and issues relating to properties owned by Russians are all possible threats, the paper wrote.
Some properties owned by Russians are located very near critical infrastructure, according to the source, who wondered if their location was a coincidence or if they were selected to allow the owners or residents to conduct surveillance of energy infrastructure.
From the start of 2023 the law changes to allow property sales to be stopped if they threaten national security, but the law will not be applied retroactively.
Tuomas Rauhala from Fingrid, meanwhile, told IS that sabotage is possible but it makes little difference if the threat comes from people living next door to infrastructure or if they have to drive in from further afield.
He said that Finland's readiness is at a good level, compared to similar countries, and that Fingrid is continuing to improve its preparedness.
Forbidden carry-on 'loggage'
Airline personnel at Kajaani Airport prevented Finance Minister Annika Saarikko (Cen) from bringing a bag of firewood onboard her flight destined for Oripää, reports Hufvudstadsbladet (siirryt toiseen palveluun).
The Centre Party chair said the wood confounded Finnair's gate personnel. After consulting their security manuals, staff said that she was not permitted to bring the logs on as carry-on luggage as they constituted a security threat.
HBL noted that demand for firewood has risen amid rising electricity prices.

Angry Birds maker Rovio's games get sales boost

Angry Birds maker Rovio's games get sales boost
HELSINKI (Reuters) – Rovio Entertainment (ROVIO.HE), the maker of the “Angry Birds” mobile game series and movie, on Friday reported an increase in second-quarter sales at its games business, providing a positive sign for investors after a profit warning in February.

The Finnish company, which listed on the stock market in Helsinki last September, reported lower second-quarter earnings due to declining revenue from its 2016 Hollywood movie, but the number of active players for its games rose more than analysts had expected.
Second-quarter adjusted operating profit fell to 6 million euros ($7 million), down from 16 million euros a year earlier and slightly above the average market forecast according to Thomson Reuters data.
Total sales fell 17 percent to 72 million euros but sales at the games business rose 6 percent to 65 million euros.
Rovio’s shares rose 3.3 percent on the day by 0714 GMT. The stock is trading around 50 percent below its initial public offering price.
The company’s recent troubles have stemmed from tough competition and increased marketing costs, as well as high dependency on the Angry Birds brand that was first launched as a mobile game in 2009.
Rovio reiterated the full-year outlook that had disappointed investors in February, when it said that sales could fall this year after a 55 percent increase in 2017.
OP Bank analyst Hannu Rauhala said it seemed that the allocation of user acquisition investments had been successful. “Those investments have resulted in growth both in revenue and the number of active players,” said Rauhala, who has a “buy” rating on the stock.
Rovio expects a movie sequel to boost business next year and the company has also stepped up investments in its spin-off company Hatch, which is building a Netflix-style streaming service for mobile games.
Rovio’s current top title “Angry Birds 2” generates almost half of the company’s game income.
“It would be desirable to see other mainstays to emerge in its game business, meaning new successful games,” OP’s Rauhala said.

Angry Birds maker Rovio gains ground as profits rise
HELSINKI (Reuters) – Rovio Entertainment, the maker of the “Angry Birds” mobile games and movie, posted better than expected quarterly profit on Thursday, representing a fillip to investor confidence dented by a dramatic profit warning in February.
FILE PHOTO: Angry Birds characters Bomb, Chuck and Red are pictured during the Angry Birds movie premiere in Helsinki, Finland, May 11, 2016. REUTERS/Tuomas Forsell/File Photo
The Finnish company’s recent troubles have stemmed from tough competition and increased user-acquisition costs, as well as high dependency on the Angry Birds brand that was first launched as a mobile game in 2009.
However, adjusted operating profit in the first quarter of 2018 roughly doubled year on year to 10 million euros ($12 million), with Rovio citing growth in its top games and lower marketing costs.
Sales, meanwhile, were down 1 percent at 66 million euros on declining revenue from its 2016 Hollywood movie.
Shares in Rovio, which listed last September, rose 5.6 percent on the news, recovering a some of the 50 percent decline after the February profit warning.
“Quarterly projections are difficult for the gaming companies as costs may fluctuate significantly between quarters,” said OP Bank analyst Hannu Rauhala, who has a “buy” rating on the stock.
“But the report nevertheless shows some stability in their performance, which strengthens confidence.”
Rovio reiterated the full-year outlook that had disappointed investors in February, when it said that sales could fall this year after jumping 55 percent in 2017.
In the past months Rovio has announced the departures of its head of games and its investor relations chief while cutting the pay of its chairman and vice chairman.
Rovio expects a movie sequel to boost business next year and the company has also stepped up investments in its spin-off company Hatch, which is building a Netflix-style streaming service for mobile games.
