Sweden is investigating a cable break in the Baltic Sea

Swedish authorities are investigating a damaged cable that was discovered in the Baltic Sea, according to Swedish news agency TT. The breakage is the latest in a string of recent incidents of ruptured undersea cables that have heightened fears of Russian sabotage and spying in the region. The most recent break was found off the island of Gotland in the Swedish economic zone. The cable runs between Germany and Finland. The Coast Guard is responding to the site. The agency and prosecutors referred media inquiries to police, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
