SWEDISH authorities said today that they were investigating a damaged cable that was discovered in the Baltic Sea, the latest in a string of recent incidents of ruptured undersea cables in the region.
The breakage was found on a cable that runs between Germany and Finland off the island of Gotland, south of Stockholm, in the Swedish economic zone, the news agency TT reported Friday.
A “preliminary investigation into sabotage was opened,” Swedish police said in a statement, saying that it had “no further information to share at this time.”
