#NATO officials have "strong suspicions" that #Russia may have mined critical #EU submarine infrastructure in the #North_Sea, the #British newspaper #The_Times reported.

According to the publication, such fears are based on data obtained from companies managing key oil and gas rigs, pipelines, electricity, and telecommunications cables.

Electricity and telephone cables, as well as oil and gas pipelines, were key targets for #Russian intelligence services, especially after the start of #Russia's full-scale military invasion of #Ukraine in February 2022, the article states.
