Sweden investigating new reports of Baltic Sea cable damage
Sweden's coast guard has dispatched a vessel to waters east of Gotland. A number of telecommunications and power cables have been damaged in the Baltic Sea in recent months.
Swedish authorities said on Friday they are investigating reports of a breach of another undersea cable in the Baltic Sea.
The Swedish Coast Guard dispatched a vessel to the location of the reported breach, east of the island of Gotland.
"It is in the Swedish economic zone and we are assisting with the crime scene investigation," a spokesperson told the AFP news agency.
Police are also investigating.
Finnish telecommunications company Cinia said on Friday that it had detected minor damage on its C-Lion1 fiber-optic cable that connects Finland and Germany. However, there was no impact on the cable's functionality.
