Two new internet cable breaks occurred between Sweden and Finland.

Criminal damage to the underwater cable between Finland and Sweden.

The Finnish police suspect that a new damage occurred to the underwater cable between Finland and Sweden, which may be a result of criminal activity. The Swedish Postal and Telecommunications Agency confirmed this information.

The damaged cable belongs to the Swedish company Globalconnect and is located in Finland. The Finnish Minister of Transport and Communications stated that authorities are cooperating with the company in investigating this incident.

Globalconnect identified the cable damage in the cities of Espoo and Vihti. The company has already begun repair work as this damage significantly complicates the situation in Finland.

In connection with this incident, Finland and Germany have initiated a joint investigation into the damage to another underwater cable connecting their territories. This raises concerns due to the tense relations with Russia.

The company Cinia reported that the underwater cable C-Lion1 between Finland and Germany was severed in the Baltic Sea. This led to a break in telecommunications between these countries. An incident also occurred with the underwater cable connecting Lithuania and Sweden, whose bandwidth was reduced by one-third. Communication has now been restored through alternative routes.

There are suspicions that Russia may be launching attacks on the underwater infrastructure of the European Union in the North Sea.
