Military investigates seabed in Baltic Sea following discovery of damaged internet cables
The military has been actively investigating the seabed in the Baltic Sea following the discovery of damaged internet cables. Late last night, they provided initial findings to relevant authorities regarding the situation.
In response to the cable cuts, China has denied any knowledge of the incidents. Meanwhile, local law enforcement discussed information related to reports of a boarded Chinese vessel, stating they have no details on the claims.
A preliminary report has been submitted to the police and the prosecutor from the initial investigation site. The comments pertain to potential causes of the cable damage, as explained by a military spokesperson.
While the navy has not disclosed the specifics of their underwater research, they moved their vessels to investigate a second cable disruption located between Gotland and Latvia for further analysis.
They arrived at the site late last night and commenced their work, which is complicated by the site’s depth of 100-150 meters. The military acknowledges that these conditions present unique challenges for their operations.
