Just like Nordstream was "sabotage"

Two critical underwater telecommunications cables in the Baltic Sea, linking Germany to Finland and Sweden to Lithuania, have been damaged. German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius suggests sabotage, though no culprits have been identified.
The cables are vital for data transmission between these nations. Authorities believe the damage was deliberate, drawing comparisons to the 2022 Nord Stream pipeline explosions. Such incidents highlight vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure.
NATO has intensified monitoring for hybrid threats, including sabotage, disinformation, and cyberattacks. Since 2015, NATO has enhanced resilience efforts to counter these non-military tactics, emphasizing collective defense and coordinated responses.
This event underscores the escalating risks posed by hybrid warfare strategies targeting essential infrastructure, further straining regional security.
