Sweden Probes Cable Breach Amid Sabotage Fears

Swedish authorities are investigating a suspected breach of an undersea cable in the Baltic Sea amid concerns of sabotage, particularly from Russian activities. A recent discovery involved a cable running between Germany and Finland in the Swedish economic zone near Gotland. This follows incidents where cables were damaged, often due to civilian ships dragging anchors. The Swedish Coast Guard has dispatched a vessel to the site, and Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson is being regularly briefed. The European Commission plans to propose enhanced surveillance and establish a repair fleet to address these vulnerabilities. Despite increased NATO presence, no definitive conclusions or prosecutions have been made regarding the cause of these disruptions.
