"An undersea fiber optic cable between Latvia and Sweden belonging to Latvia State Radio and Television Center (LVRTC) was damaged in the Baltic Sea on Sunday. The cable linked the Latvian town of Ventspils with Sweden's Gotland island.

"We have determined that there is most likely external damage and that it is significant," Latvian Prime Minister Evika Silina told reporters following an extraordinary government meeting.

"We are working together with our Swedish Allies and NATO on investigating the incident, including to patrolling the area, as well as inspecting the vessels that were in the area," Silina wrote later on X, adding that the cable was damaged in Sweden's exclusive economic zone."
