Two undersea fiber-optic communications cables in the Baltic Sea, including one linking Finland and Germany, were severed, raising suspicions of sabotage by bad actors, countries and companies involved said on Monday.
The episode recalled other incidents in the same waterway that authorities have probed as potentially malicious including damage to a gas pipeline and undersea cables last year and the 2022 explosions of the Nord Sea gas pipelines.
The 1,200-kilometer (745-mile) cable connecting Helsinki to the German port of Rostock stopped working around 0200 GMT on Monday, Finnish state-controlled cyber security and telecoms company Cinia said.
A 218-km (135-mile) internet link between Lithuania and Sweden's Gotland Island went out of service at about 0800 GMT on Sunday, according to Lithuania's Telia Lietuva, part of Sweden's Telia Company group.

Imagine that!
Russia up to its usual dirty tricks
Blowing up your own pipeline and now cutting up all them undersea cables.
You gotta stop that -- don't ya know!
Now how will Finish people get their pr0n????????......
Of course it is sabotage. There’s no underwater creature who could do that without causing a lot more general damage.
Maybe certain fish can be trained to guard the cables.
Don’t laugh. I think the Russians are known to train dolphins to assist in certain military operations.
Its the Ukrainian tourists and their rented sailboats again.
NeoCons supply their proxies with missiles to shoot into Russia and are then surprised when Russia shoots back.
So tell me what does Biden have against Finland?
Paybacks a bitch.
cui bono
Joe has made it clear that we can start using long range missiles against the Russians. With this kind of provocation I would go ahead and launch some. It’s just the prudent thing.
You don't say. Sheesh.
RUSSIA 🇷🇺!!!!
What we need is a picture of the damage and to know at what depth the break is at. We can do much more speculating with that information.
They’ll watch trained seals with binoculars.
Ya think? It didn't just mysteriously happen?
Brilliant people, figuring this all out on their own.
It’s gonna be a long cold winter in Finland........
The author is eager to foster sabotage rumors while making absolutely no mention of whether there are redundant/back-up cables, and how many, and if there are none, what services are affected and how badly.
This isn’t responsible journalism, this is rumor-mongering.
You did Nazi that coming.
