Summary
Sweden is investigating the Chinese vessel Yi Peng 3 after it was tracked near two severed Baltic Sea data cables connecting Sweden-Lithuania and Finland-Germany, incidents suspected to be sabotage.
The cables were damaged within 24 hours, and Germany called it a likely act of “hybrid warfare.”
The ship, owned by a Chinese company, follows a similar 2023 case involving a Chinese vessel damaging a Baltic gas pipeline.
Germany, Sweden, Finland, and Lithuania expressed concerns, citing increased hybrid threats
