Swedish authorities have detained a ship suspected of sabotaging an undersea fiber optic cable in the Baltic Sea. The ship is the Bulgarian vessel Vezhen, which was in the area at the time of the damage. It sails under the Maltese flag and is owned by the Bulgarian Maritime Fleet, the company said, stressing that there was no question of deliberate sabotage.
The ship had left the Russian port of Ust-Luga a few days earlier and was sailing between Gotland and Latvia at the time the damage is believed to have occurred. The Vezhen was closely followed by a Swedish coast guard ship on Sunday evening, MarineTraffic data showed. The two vessels were heading towards the southern Swedish coast.
