Europe on Edge as Critical Cables Severed Near Nord Stream Blast Zone

German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius on Tuesday said "nobody believes" that two broken telecommunications cables in the Baltic Sea were "accidentally cut.""We have to conclude, without knowing exactly who did it, that it is a hybrid action and we also have to assume — without knowing it — that it is sabotage," Pistorius told reporters in Brussels on the sidelines of a Council of the European Union meeting.The Finnish network company Cinia said Monday it was investigating a broken undersea internet cable running between Santahamina near Helsinki and Rostock in Germany — in a submarine incident that sparked political alarm in Berlin and Helsinki.The 1,173 kilometer-long cable follows a similar route to the Russia-to-Germany Nord Stream gas pipelines, which exploded in September 2022 in an apparent act of sabotage.Also speaking on the sidelines of the meeting in Brussels, Finnish Defense Minister Antti Häkkänen said: “We are now investigating what has happened. We have good capabilities through all of this to investigate what has happened and who has been there.”Finland’s Europe Minister Joakim Strand called the incident "concerning.""Our authorities together with the companies are proactively investigating the case. The telecommunications have been re-routed to back-up connections and practical impacts have been minimal. The cable of course will be repaired. It is too soon to speculate on any causes but of course this is concerning," he added.The suspected case of sabotage comes as European foreign ministers, meeting in Warsaw on Tuesday, warned that Russia is “systematically attacking” Europe’s security architecture.

Taiwan suspects China of latest attack on undersea cables

Taiwan suspects that China was behind the cutting of an international undersea telecom cable early Friday morning.According to Taiwanese media reports, the Shunxin-39, a Cameroon-flagged cargo ship, was intercepted by the country's coast guard about 13 kilometers off the north coast of Taiwan late Friday afternoon and ordered to return closer to shore for an investigation. Rough weather prevented them from boarding the vessel, however, and the Shunxin-39 was able to continue en route to a port in South Korea.Taiwan authorities said that although the Shunxin-39 is registered in Cameroon, it belongs to Jie Yang Trading Limited of Hong Kong headed by Guo Wenjie, a citizen of China.Chunghwa Telecom, which is part of an international consortium that owns the cable, said it had been able to reroute telecom traffic to other cables, and that service continued uninterrupted. The $500 million Trans-Pacific Express cable has linked countries in East Asia with the United States' West Coast since 2008.Taiwan has experienced several dozen incidents of damage to its underwater telecom cables in recent years, without being able to definitively identify the source of the attacks, and has appealed to the European Union for help.The Taiwan cable attacks follow the severing of an undersea power cable between Finland and Estonia on Christmas Day that Finland pinned on Russia's shadow fleet of oil tankers.Such so-called gray-zone attacks have multiplied since Russia's invasion of Ukraine three years ago as Beijing and Moscow have tested the ability and readiness of the West to withstand hybrid forms of aggression.
