Sweden has reported partial damage to an undersea telecommunications cable in the Baltic Sea running to Estonia, which authorities believe happened at the same time as damage to an undersea gas pipeline and telecom cable from Finland to Estonia.
Finland launched an investigation into possible sabotage after reporting the damage to its gas pipeline to Estonia last week.
Swedish minister for civil defence Carl-Oskar Bohlin said the damage to the cable between Sweden and Estonia appeared to have happened at the same time, but it is unclear what caused it.
“It is not a total cable break. There is a partial damage on this cable," Mr Bohlin said. “We cannot assess what caused the damage.
