German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius has said damage to two undersea cables in the Baltic Sea looks like an act of sabotage and a "hybrid action", without knowing who is to blame.

A 1,170km (730-mile) telecommunications cable between Finland and Germany was severed in the early hours of Monday, while a 218km internet link between Lithuania and Sweden's Gotland Island stopped working on Sunday.

The incidents came at a time of heightened tension with Russia and Pistorius said "nobody believes that these cables were cut accidentally".

The Swedish and Lithuanian defence ministers said they were "deeply concerned" that the cable connecting their two countries had been cut

These cables absolutely were cut accidentally same with what happened to Nordstream

This is just governments convincing their people they are gods.Russia did it’s part in blaming the west so the West does it’s part by blaming Russia

Well actually this is the 2nd lot of cables that have been cut in the last two weeks…

The common connection is that there was certain Chinese ship in the area… that last stop was Russia

Anyway not saying that the Russians have previous at doing this…. But another “attempt” at cutting certain Atlantic cables were disrupted by Irish fishermen in territorial waters a few years ago

Maybe the UN will get involved

in the sticks

So if you were going to cut them, wave a Chinese or Russian flag on your ship whilst being watched by security agencies... wonder if they gave a wave, or took a selfie too
