Germany suspects sabotage after undersea internet cables are severed.
The C-Lion1 cable between Finland and Germany was severed in the Baltic Sea, its operator said, after damage was reported to another cable linking Lithuania and Sweden.
BERLIN — Germany’s defense minister said the cutting of two undersea internet cables appeared to be deliberate acts of “sabotage.”
The incidents are “a very clear sign that something is going on here,” Boris Pistorius told reporters in Brussels ahead of a meeting of European Union defense ministers Tuesday. “Nobody believes that these cables were accidentally severed.”
