Hours ago we reported an undersea cable between Finland and Germany had been cut; now ANOTHER undersea cable has also been cut.
A communication cable running along the bottom of the Baltic Sea between Lithuania and Sweden has been cut.
This was reported by Andrius Šemeškevičius, a representative of the telecommunications company Telia Lietuva.
“The cable was damaged. The systems report that we have lost communication.”
The cable rupture is more likely to be the result of an intentional act than an accident, Tapio Frantti, professor of cybersecurity at the University of Jyväskylä, told Yle.
His evaluation was based on preliminary media information.
"If you look at this from the point of view of probability, then yes, this is on the side of intentionality," said Frantti.
"When a cable breaks, it raises questions as to why it happened and who might have a motive to do something like this."
