Swedish police are investigating a suspected case of sabotage of an undersea telecoms cable in the Baltic Sea. The country’s coast guard has deployed a vessel to the area where multiple seabed cables have been damaged in recent months.
The incident has raised concerns amid a series of power cable, telecom, and gas pipeline outages in the region since 2022, with most caused by civilian ships dragging their anchors, but this case is being treated as suspected sabotage.
