Two fibre-optic cables – one linking Finland and Germany, the other connecting Sweden to Lithuania – stopped working between Sunday and Monday
The C-Lion1 submarine telecommunications cable is being laid to the bottom of the Baltic Sea by cable ship Ile de Brehat on the shore of Helsinki, Finland, in 2015“No one believes that these cables were cut accidentally. I also don’t want to believe in versions that these were ship anchors that accidentally caused the damage,” German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius said before a meeting with EU colleagues in Brussels.
“We have to state, without knowing specifically who it came from, that it is a ’hybrid' action. And we also have to assume, without knowing it yet, that it is sabotage,” Pistorius told journalists. Lithuania’s Prosecutor General’s Office was gathering information to determine if a formal investigation should be launched, a spokesperson said.
Dutch Defence Minister Ruben Brekelmans made clear he had no specific information about who was to blame, but said: “We see increasing activity of especially Russia on our seas, aimed at espionage and possibly even sabotage of our vital infrastructure.”
