Baltic Sea Cable Breach Investigated: NATO, EU Response Questioned
Swedish police are investigating suspected sabotage of a damaged undersea telecoms cable in the Baltic Sea, within Sweden’s economic zone. The damaged cable, belonging to Finnish telecom operator Cinia, suffered minor damage to its C-Lion1 fiber-optic link, though service remains unaffected. This incident follows a string of similar outages in the region, prompting increased NATO presence and a European Commission proposal for enhanced undersea cable surveillance and emergency repair capabilities. The Swedish coast guard is assisting in the investigation.
