Recent incidents of underwater cable sabotage in the Baltic Sea and the South China Sea have raised alarms among top officials, who suspect the involvement of Russia and China in these strategic regions.
Maritime sabotage activities have been on the rise in these areas over the past few years, with a notable escalation in recent months. In November, two cables under the Baltic Sea were severed, and a Chinese-flagged commercial ship was intercepted by Danish naval forces for dragging its anchor along the Baltic seabed, damaging critical undersea cables connecting various countries.
