Chinese Ship Investigated Over Severed Baltic Cables

Authorities from four nations join probe into Chinese vessel linked to damaged undersea telecom lines in Swedish waters.

Two undersea telecom cables, connecting Sweden to Lithuania and Finland to Germany, were severed in Swedish waters in mid-November.
The Chinese ship Yi Peng 3, tracked in the area at the time of the incidents, remains anchored between Sweden and Denmark since November 19.
Chinese authorities are conducting an investigation aboard the ship, with representatives from Sweden, Germany, Finland, and Denmark observing.
Swedish police clarified their role as observers and stated that their presence is not part of the ongoing sabotage investigation.
European officials have suggested potential sabotage linked to geopolitical tensions, but Sweden has refrained from making direct accusations against China.
