Investigators think a Chinese ship purposefully cut critical data cables | TechCrunch
Briefly

European investigators have indicated that a Chinese commercial ship intentionally dragged its anchor to sever two vital data cables, potentially ordered by Russian intelligence.
Investigators believe the attack on the data cables might have been orchestrated by Russian intelligence, while they do not suspect direct involvement from the Chinese government.
The investigation faces legal challenges as NATO countries cannot force the Chinese vessel to dock in their ports, requiring negotiation with its owners.
German police are utilizing drones for examination of the damaged cables and seabed, showcasing the technological approach to assess the extent of the sabotage.
