Sweden’s coast guard has dispatched a vessel to waters east of Gotland. A number of telecommunications and power cables have been damaged in the Baltic Sea in recent months.
Swedish authorities said on Friday they are investigating reports of a breach of another undersea cable in the Baltic Sea.
The Swedish Coast Guard dispatched a vessel to the location of the reported breach, east of the island of Gotland.
“It is in the Swedish economic zone and we are assisting with the crime scene investigation,” a spokesperson told the AFP news agency.
Police are also investigating.
Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said the government was being briefed on the situation.
“I have for some time been aware of media reports of a possible new cable break in the Baltic Sea,” Kristersson said on social media.
Several telecommunication and power cables have been damaged in the Baltic Sea in recent months.
