Latvian Prime Minister Evik Selin said her country cooperates closely with Sweden and NATO in response to the incident.
The cable belongs to the Latvian state television presenter LVRTC, which said in a statement that “there were disruptions in data transfer”, but the end users will not mostly affect.
Earlier this month, NATO launched its new Baltic Mission, after several cables under the Baltic Sea were damaged or torn in 2024.
NATO chief Mark Ruthte said more patrols, warships and drones would be provided with more patrol aircraft.
While Russia did not directly stand out as a guilty cable damage, Rute stated that NATO would strengthen the monitoring of the Moscow “Shadow Fleet” – a ship without the exact ownership of the oil products.
Ruthte said there was a “cause of serious concern” about infrastructure damage, adding that NATO will react to future incidents, while more planting suspected vessels and, if necessary, their attack.
Finnish police said at the end of last year that they were investigating whether a Russian ship participated in the breathing of an electric cable between Finland and Estonia.
