Russia is suspected of orchestrating another major act of sabotage in Europe after two key fiber-optic data cables running below the Baltic Sea were cut off in quick succession earlier this week, government officials said.

As undersea cables are cut, Finland and Germany say Europe is threated not only bt Russia's war in Ukraine, but "from hybrid warfare by malicious actors."

Swedish investigators are looking into the movements of a Chinese vessel in the Baltic Sea after two internet cables were severed, in what some Western leaders suspect was an act of sabotage.
