Finland's National Bureau of Investigation says it has launched an investigation into a severed undersea telecoms cable connecting Finland and Germany, considered "sabotage" by Berlin. The submarine cable connecting Helsinki and the German port of Rostock was cut south of Oland island in Swedish waters, some 700 kilometres (435 miles) from Helsinki. Within 48 hours, another telecommunications cable was cut in the Baltic Sea, linking Lithuania to Sweden, prompting European officials to say that they suspect "sabotage" and "hybrid warfare" linked to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
