Swedish prosecutors have launched a preliminary investigation into suspected aggravated sabotage after a vessel in the Baltic Sea was detained for allegedly damaging an underwater fiber optic cable connecting Latvia and the Swedish island of Gotland. The vessel, identified as the Malta-flagged Vezhen, was seized near the port of Karlskrona.
Authorities involved in the investigation include the National Police Operations Department, the Coast Guard, and the Armed Forces. The Swedish Coast Guard confirmed their presence at the site and stated that measures are being taken as directed by the prosecutor.
