Norwegian police seized a Russian-crewed ship suspected of damaging an undersea cable in the Baltic Sea, responding to a request from Latvia. This incident comes amid increasing concern over sabotage to undersea infrastructure, including communication and electricity cables, following the Nord Stream explosions in 2022. The authorities targeted the Silver Dania, a cargo vessel owned by a Norwegian company, to search for evidence and question the crew. In parallel, Swedish authorities boarded a different vessel connected to recent sabotage activities, reflecting a growing trend of such incidents in the region.
The recent seizure of the Russian-crewed ship by Norwegian authorities highlights escalating concerns over sabotage of undersea infrastructure in the Baltic Sea.
