‘Incredibly difficult to prove’ Two Baltic Sea Internet cables were damaged within 24 hours. Was it Russian ‘hybrid warfare’ or just a coincidence? — Meduza
Early last week, European telecommunications companies reported damage to two underwater Internet cables in the Baltic Sea. The first incident, involving a cable connecting Lithuania to Sweden, reportedly occurred on the morning of Sunday, November 17. The second, affecting a cable between Germany and Finland, was reported the following morning. While the full extent and nature of the damage remain unclear, some European officials were quick to suggest sabotage, and law enforcement agencies from multiple countries have launched investigations. The Danish navy is reportedly shadowing a Chinese-registered ship called the Yi Peng 3, which appears to have been near the sites of both outages when they occurred. To help put this incident in context, Meduza spoke to Katja Bego, an expert on the geopolitics of undersea cables and a senior research fellow in Chatham House’s International Security program.
