New incident in the Baltic Sea / A cable connecting Lithuania and Latvia breaks

A new incident has been recorded in the Baltic Sea. Latvian Prime Minister Evika Silinia stated today that an optical cable belonging to a private company has been damaged, while investigations have been launched to clarify the incident.

The cable connects Lithuania and Latvia and it is not yet known what caused the incident, Lithuania's National Crisis Management Center said in a statement.

The Baltic Sea region is on high alert after a series of disruptions to power cables, telecommunications links and gas pipelines since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, and the NATO military alliance has increased its presence with frigates, aircraft and naval drones.

The latest incident comes five days after Finnish police seized a cargo ship traveling from Russia to Israel on suspicion of sabotaging an underwater telecommunications cable that stretched from Helsinki through the Gulf of Finland to Estonia. /CNA
