The Danish Defence confirmed their presence near the Yi Peng 3, emphasizing their awareness of ships in the area following recent cable damages, but refraining from further comments.
German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius stated that the severed cables were likely the result of sabotage, highlighting the international suspicion surrounding underwater cable impairments in recent months.
The Yi Peng 3 stopped in the Kattegat strait after previously tracking near damaged telecoms cables, raising questions about its role or involvement, even though no direct link was established.
The incident echoes previous maritime disruptions, including damage by a Chinese ship to an undersea gas pipeline, and the unresolved circumstances of the Nord Stream pipeline ruptures.
