The Swedish prime minister recently declared that the Baltic Sea is now considered a “high risk” area after two important undersea telecom cables were damaged in what many suspect could have been a sabotage attack.

Experts have noted that the Danish-Swedish cables operated by TDC Net and Energinet lie at a similar depth to the damaged C-Lion1 cables, raising even more concerns about potential connections to the Yi Peng 3’s activities. TV 2 has reached out to both TDC Net and Energinet, but neither has reported any irregularities in operations on November 7.

Sweden is asking a Chinese vessel to return to Swedish waters to help facilitate an investigation into recent breaches of undersea fibre-optic cables in the Baltic Sea, Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said on Tuesday,

International investigators reportedly believe the crew aboard Yi Peng 3, a bulk carrier full of Russian fertilizer, dragged its anchor for more than 100 miles across the Baltic seabed, damaging the cables that run across it.

Sweden’s prime minister has urged a Chinese ship linked to the cutting of two cables to move into Swedish waters, as the country steps up its investigation of the potential incident of sabotage in the Baltic Sea.

Sweden’s authorities have requested that the Chinese vessel linked to broken data cables in the Baltic Sea move closer to its waters, Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said.
