Undersea cable between Germany and Finland severed


The two countries say they are "deeply concerned" as they raise the possibility of sabotage.

The latest incident involves a C-Lion1 fibreoptic cable linking the Finnish capital, Helsinki and the German city of Rostock. "These kinds of breaks don't happen in these waters without an outside impact," a Cinia spokesperson told local media. Samuli Bergstrom, a Finnish government cybersecurity expert, said the failure had not affected internet traffic between the two countries as other cable routes were available.
