The European Union vowed on Friday to increase security in the Baltic Sea as the Swedish authorities said they were investigating a new cable break, the latest example of damage to underwater infrastructure in the region.<\/p>\n

The European Commission, the bloc\u2019s executive arm, said it would take new steps to prevent and detect threats to submarine cables<\/a>, which carry internet traffic.<\/p>\n

The severing of several undersea cables in the Baltic Sea in recent months has raised concerns that Russia is using the moves to retaliate against NATO countries<\/a> that have supported Ukraine. Alliance officials have pointed to Russia as a possible culprit, but have said that it is difficult to prove.<\/p>\n

NATO has also stepped up its military presence in the area with a new patrol and surveillance operation, called Baltic Sentry, aimed at protecting infrastructure in the sea.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
