Recent incidents involving damaged undersea cables in the Baltic Sea have sparked increased concerns regarding Russian sabotage. Swedish authorities are investigating a cable rupture found between Germany and Finland, and have initiated a preliminary investigation into possible sabotage. Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson emphasized the seriousness with which the government regards infrastructure damage. The situation adds to previous incidents, including damage to a fiber optic cable between Gotland and Latvia, where initial sabotage suspicions were dismissed after investigation.
"The preliminary investigation into sabotage was opened so that the police can have access to the tools needed to clarify what happened," Swedish police said in a statement.
Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said on the social media platform X that the government takes all reports of damage to infrastructure in the Baltic Sea very seriously.
