A series of incidents involving severed undersea cables in the Baltic Sea has prompted investigations and accusations of sabotage, particularly focusing on a Chinese-registered ship that was in proximity to the affected cables. Both American and European officials are at odds over whether the damage was accidental or deliberate. As Finland and Germany initiate probes into the matter, there are growing concerns about potential hybrid warfare tactics, particularly in light of NATO drills in the area. Notably, German officials have voiced suspicions of sabotage, with the German defense minister confirming that the damage to the Baltic Sea cables is presumed to be intentional. Meanwhile, Russian involvement is also being scrutinized, though Moscow denies all accusations. The simultaneous cutting of these critical communications links has raised alarms over the security of undersea internet infrastructure and its vulnerabilities, eliciting calls from Finnish authorities for enhanced protective measures across NATO and EU networks.
