A severed undersea data cable between Germany and Finland that runs through the Baltic Sea, has raised suspicions of sabotage from those countries. An investigation is underway.
The two countries expressed “deep concern” in a joint statement that the timing of the damage implies “our European security is not only under threat from Russia’s war of agression against Ukraine, but also from hybrid warfare by malicious actors.”
“The fact that such an incident immediately raises suspicions of intentional damage speaks volumes about the volatility of our times,” the statement said.
