Sabotage suspected as two undersea cables severed

The episode recalled other incidents in the same waterway that authorities have probed as potentially malicious including damage to a gas pipeline and undersea cables last year and the 2022 explosions of the Nord Sea gas pipelines.

The 1,200km (745 miles) cable connecting Helsinki to the German port of Rostock stopped working around 0200 GMT yesterday, Finnish state-controlled cybersecurity and telecoms company Cinia said.

A 218km (135 miles) internet link between Lithuania and Sweden’s Gotland Island went out of service at about 0800 GMT on Sunday, according to Lithuania’s Telia Lietuva, part of Sweden’s Telia Company group.
