Swedish security services confirmed an attempted sabotage incident on Gotland island that may have targeted its water supply system, as police reported damage involving essential pumps. The head of the local water and sewage system indicated deliberate tampering with equipment. This incident follows a series of similar occurrences in the region, raising alarms of potential Russian interference. Sweden's government is responding by enhancing military presence in the Baltic, highlighting serious concerns over national infrastructure security amidst escalating tensions.
"They have broken open a bronze cap that supplies the raw water pumps with power and sabotaged it so that the pumps stopped," Susanne Bjergegaard-Pettersson told Aftonbladet newspaper.
Sweden's Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson stated, "They must be seen in the light of the serious security situation that exists," addressing the context of the damage to infrastructure.
