  • Latvia said it had dispatched a warship on Sunday after damage to a fibre optic cable to Sweden that may have been "due to external factors". The statement added: "Based on current findings, it is presumed that the cable is significantly damaged due to external factors.

The article discusses the damage to an undersea cable between Sweden and Latvia, as reported by Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson. This incident follows a similar event where a gas pipeline and another telecom cable connecting Finland and Estonia were damaged. The Swedish PM mentioned that while the cause of the damage is not yet determined, it is being investigated. This situation has raised concerns about the security of critical infrastructure in the Baltic Sea region, especially given the geopolitical tensions involving Russia. The damage to these cables and pipelines has implications for energy security and communication in Northern Europe, prompting a collaborative investigation by the affected countries to ascertain whether these incidents are coincidental or part of a broader pattern of sabotage.
