ai generated text
A data cable in the Baltic Sea has been damaged, with Latvian Prime Minister Evika Silia stating that the damage is likely to be significant. The incident occurred in a section of the cable located within Sweden's exclusive economic zone.
NATO ships and aircrafts are working together with national resources from the Baltic Sea countries to investigate and, if necessary, take action.
We have determined that there is most likely external damage and that it is significant.
We are now carrying out a number of concrete investigative measures, but I cannot go into what they consist of due to the ongoing preliminary investigation.
We are in a stage where we cannot give any information.
Sweden will contribute important capabilities to the ongoing effort to investigate the suspected incident.
Exactly how we are involved we cannot say.
At the moment, there is reason to believe that the cable is significantly damaged and that the damage is caused by external influences.
