Rough weather when examining cable: "Troublesome"

The investigation of the damaged cable between Lithuania and Sweden is in its second day. The Navy is here to search for traces of possible sabotage. The work is more difficult than with the first investigated cable – and the weather is causing trouble.

There are more difficult conditions. It's deeper, over a hundred meters, and that makes everything a bit more challenging, says the Navy's press officer Jimmie Adamsson.

The two data cables in the Baltic Sea, one between Finland and Germany and one between Sweden and Lithuania, have failed or been damaged in a short time. Swedish authorities suspect sabotage.

The Navy is using unmanned underwater vessels. Jimmie Adamsson describes them as a kind of mini-submarines with cameras that are sent out to find the cause of the cable damage.

If something had been dragged along the bottom, for example, that would be such a thing, bottom tracks.

It's windy and there's heavy sea.

It can be difficult when you're going to put in and take out these large underwater vessels, they move when they're hanging in the cranes.

The investigation of the other damaged cable is complete, but the Navy does not want to comment on any potential findings made there.

The Chinese ship Yi Peng 3, which on Friday continued to lie anchored in the Kattegat in Danish waters, has been said to be of interest in the investigation into the damaged cables. The ship is being monitored by the Danish Navy.
