Military confirms presence near Yi Peng 3 in Kattegat region amid cable sabotage concerns

The military has confirmed its presence near the Chinese vessel Yi Peng 3, which is currently located in the Kattegat region, according to tracking data from VesselFinder. The ship was navigating through the Baltic Sea on Tuesday when Finnish media raised speculations regarding its potential connection to cables that are believed to have been sabotaged.

Yi Peng 3 departed from the Russian port of Ust-Luga last week and crossed the area over the weekend where a C-Lion cable experienced damage. Notably, during its passage around the site of the cable break, the vessel had turned off its AIS signal, making it impossible to track its exact route. The military has stated that no further comments will be provided at this time.

This situation continues to develop.
