Two undersea fiber-optic communications cables in the Baltic Sea, including one linking Finland and Germany, were severed, raising suspicions of sabotage by bad actors, countries and companies involved said on Monday.
The episode recalled other incidents in the same waterway that authorities have probed as potentially malicious including damage to a gas pipeline and undersea cables last year and the 2022 explosions of the Nord Sea gas pipelines.
The 1,200-kilometer (745-mile) cable connecting Helsinki to the German port of Rostock stopped working around 0200 GMT on Monday, Finnish state-controlled cyber security and telecoms company Cinia said.
A 218-km (135-mile) internet link between Lithuania and Sweden's Gotland Island went out of service at about 0800 GMT on Sunday, according to Lithuania's Telia Lietuva, part of Sweden's Telia Company group.

Of course it is sabotage. There’s no underwater creature who could do that without causing a lot more general damage.
Maybe certain fish can be trained to guard the cables.
Don’t laugh. I think the Russians are known to train dolphins to assist in certain military operations.

NeoCons supply their proxies with missiles to shoot into Russia and are then surprised when Russia shoots back.
