The Swedish authorities on Monday boarded a ship in connection with what they described as \u201cgross sabotage\u201d after an undersea communications cable in the Baltic Sea was damaged a day earlier. The ship was escorted to the coast of Sweden for an investigation, the authorities said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe suspect that a serious act of sabotage was committed in the Swedish economic zone yesterday,\u201d Mats Ljungqvist, the Swedish prosecutor leading the investigation into the damage, said in a phone interview on Monday.<\/p>\n

The authorities have not yet made public the nature or the extent of the damage to the communications cable, which runs between Sweden and Latvia.<\/p>\n

The incident follows other suspected sabotage attempts on cables under the Baltic Sea, which has recently become a theater of potential hybrid warfare between NATO and Russia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
