Sweden’s Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson told the Munich Security Conference on Saturday that the country didn’t believe a series of submarine cable cuts in the Baltic Sea were simply coincidental.
The Silver Dania is the third ship detained in recent weeks over concerns of intentional damage to subsea infrastructure in the Baltic Sea.
Another undersea data cable, this time connecting Sweden and Latvia, has been severed in the Baltic Sea, officials from both countries said Sunday. The incident prompted Sweden to launch a criminal probe into the matter and seize a "suspect vessel" vessel headed for Russia.
