Swedish authorities reported on Friday that another undersea cable in the Baltic Sea had been severed off the coast of Gotland. The Stockholm prosecutor's office has launched an investigation into the matter.
According to the Swedish Coast Guard, the incident involves a cable connecting Finland with Germany.
Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson wrote on platform X that he has been aware of the cable break "for some time now" and assured that the government is being informed about the situation.
"We take all reports of infrastructure damage in the Baltic Sea very seriously. They must be considered in light of the serious threat to security," emphasized Kristersson.
It is unclear when the cable was severed.
