Damage caused to two undersea fibre-optic communications cables in the Baltic Sea must be seen as sabotage, although it is still unclear who is responsible, Germany’s defence minister has said.
“No one believes that these cables were cut accidentally. I also don’t want to believe in versions that these were anchors that accidentally caused damage over these cables,” Boris Pistorius said before a meeting with EU defence ministers in Brussels.
