Authorities in Finland and Sweden have launched criminal investigations into the recent ruptures of undersea communication cables in the Baltic Sea, suspecting deliberate sabotage. These incidents have raised concerns about the security of critical infrastructure in the region.
On November 19, 2024, the undersea C-Lion1 data cable connecting Finland and Germany experienced a rupture, leading to disruptions in data transmission between the two countries. This event followed a similar incident involving a cable between Lithuania and Sweden. Both ruptures occurred near Swedish islands, prompting immediate investigations by the respective national authorities.
