Data cable damage near Sweden-Finland border disrupts service for 6,000 Finnish customers; cause under investigation.

A data cable crossing the Sweden-Finland border was damaged in two locations, affecting 6,000 private and 100 business customers in southern Finland. Global Connect reported that one damage was due to excavation works and has been repaired, while the cause of the second incident is still under investigation. This follows the damage to two other cables in the Baltic Sea last month, with no proof of sabotage despite speculation. Authorities from Finland, Sweden, and Germany are investigating the incidents.
