U.S. and European intelligence officials now believe that damage to undersea cables is likely due to maritime accidents, not Russian sabotage, based on ongoing investigations.
Investigations have revealed that the interruptions in undersea energy and communications lines likely stemmed from accidents involving poorly maintained vessels operated by inexperienced crews.
Clear evidence and communications intercepted affirm that the actions leading to the severed cables were not intentional but rather a result of accidents.
While initial concerns pointed towards Russian involvement in attacks on undersea infrastructure, investigations have led to the conclusion that the damage was purely accidental.
