Baltic Sea theme
Will the Baltic Sea EU member states try to get Russia to stop promising compensation to Chinese crews for Russian submarines that have disappeared in the Baltic Sea so that their merchant fleet stops using its anchors to drag for them?
Police on board the Chinese ship. On Thursday, several authorities will board the Chinese ship Yi Peng 3, which according to SVT's information is being investigated for involvement in the cable breaks in the Baltic Sea.
In the space of less than 24 hours, between 17 and 18 November, two important communication cables at the bottom of the Baltic Sea stopped working. Shortly afterwards, it emerged that the ship Yi Peng 3 had passed through the cables at the same time as they broke. SVT was able to reveal that it was shadowed by the Danish navy during its journey out of the Baltic Sea. When Yi Peng 3 reached the Kattegat between Sweden and Denmark, it stopped. It has now been at a standstill there for a month, surrounded by patrol ships from several countries.
Police are investigating the cable breaks as suspected sabotage and have, among other things, enlisted the help of the Armed Forces to examine the bottom of the Baltic Sea in search of evidence. Both pictures, videos and technical evidence have, according to SVT's information, been collected. One of the theories that has been put forward is that the ship may have torn off the cables with its anchor. Watch the feature on SVT News.
After the cable breaks: Police on board the Chinese ship. The Police and the Accident Investigation Board have today been on board the Chinese ship "Yi peng 3" which is suspected of having sabotaged two underwater cables in the Baltic Sea. Watch the feature on TV4 News.
