Mystery of Broken Baltic Sea Cables Deepens

Last month, a mysterious incident occurred in the Baltic Sea. A major telecom cable, stretching over 729 miles, suddenly stopped working. This cable follows a similar path to the Nord Stream gas pipelines that exploded last year. The explosion was believed to be an act of sabotage. Finland's Defense Minister, Antti Häkkänen, commented on the sidelines of a meeting in Brussels. He said, "We're looking into what happened. We have the tools to figure out what went wrong and who might be involved. "Finland's Europe Minister, Joakim Strand, found the incident worrying. He said, "Our authorities and the companies are actively investigating. Telecommunications are now using backup connections. The cable will be fixed. It's too early to say what caused this, but it's concerning. " In another part of the Baltic Sea, a cable connecting Lithuania and Sweden's Gotland Island was damaged on Sunday morning. This was reported by Telia Lietuva, a Swedish telecom company. This suspected sabotage happened as European foreign ministers met in Warsaw. They warned that Russia is threatening Europe's security by attacking its systems.
