Two submarine internet cables in the Baltic Sea were suddenly disrupted in an apparent sabotage operation.

A cable between Lithuania and Sweden was cut on Sunday , according to Telia Lithuania , the telecommunications company that runs the link.

A state-controlled Finnish telecoms company said one of its cables, which connects Finland and Germany , was disrupted on Monday .

The Swedish Prosecution Authority said Tuesday that the country’s National Unit against International and Organized Crime had opened a preliminary investigation.

Cinia says services running through the C-Lion1 cable that connects Helsinki with Rostock were down, but Finland ’s international telecommunication connections were routed via multiple links.

The extent of the disruption, if any, caused by the damage to the cables is unclear.

Nobody has so far claimed responsibility for the damage.
