Finnish authorities have concluded that the recent damage to two fiber-optic cables between Finland and Sweden appears to be accidental, despite earlier suspicions of sabotage.
Carl-Oskar Bohlin, the Swedish Civil Defense Minister, highlighted that 'sabotage' was initially suspected, but Finnish police later clarified that there was no evidence linking the incident to criminal activity.
The situation follows previous breaches of undersea fiber optic cables in the Baltic Sea that heightened fears of sabotage, especially given the sighting of a China-flagged vessel nearby.
German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius stated he believed the damaged cables were likely a result of sabotage, a claim Russia has described as 'absurd'.
