The Danish military is staying near a Chinese ship that may be linked to damaged data cables in the Baltic Sea.
A high-speed fiber optic cable connecting Finland and Germany was cut early Monday by what was likely an external impact and a nearby link between Lithuania and Sweden was damaged on Sunday. It was the second such incident in the Baltic Sea in just over a year.
The bulk carrier, Yi Peng 3, was in the vicinity of the cables when they were damaged, compiled data shows. It has been anchored in the northern part of the Danish straits since Tuesday, with Danish Navy diving ship Soloven close by.
