PermalinkSwedish security services spokesperson Johan Wikstrom on
Monday said officers had boarded a tanker after prosecutors
launched a probe into a damaged fiber optic cable from
Sweden to Latvia.
The investigation comes after the cable under the Baltic
Sea, used by Latvian state media, was damaged early on
Sunday. Latvia, which deployed a warship in the immediate
aftermath, claims the damage was likely caused by "external
influence."
Previous incidents of reported data cable breakages on the
Baltic seabed have been linked to Russia's shadow fleet —
hundreds of aging tankers with opaque ownership structures
used to skirt sanctions.
