Finnish telecom operator Cinia has detected minor damage to its C-Lion1 fibre-optic link, a third incident in recent months following two previous damages, one of which resulted in the cable being completely severed. The incidents have sparked investigations by Swedish authorities, with the Swedish police investigating the matter in Sweden's economic zone, citing suspicion of sabotage.

    1. We take all reports of possible damage to infrastructure in the Baltic Sea very seriously. As I said earlier, they must be seen in the context of the serious security situation that exists.
    1. The cable damage is minor and has no impact on the functionality of the data connections through the C-Lion 1 submarine cable. Data traffic can be transmitted over the cable normally.
