Experts have noted that the Danish-Swedish cables operated by TDC Net and Energinet lie at a similar depth to the damaged C-Lion1 cables, raising even more concerns about potential connections to the Yi Peng 3’s activities. TV 2 has reached out to both TDC Net and Energinet, but neither has reported any irregularities in operations on November 7.

International investigators reportedly believe the crew aboard Yi Peng 3, a bulk carrier full of Russian fertilizer, dragged its anchor for more than 100 miles across the Baltic seabed, damaging the cables that run across it.

A Chinese commercial vessel that has been surrounded by European warships in international waters for a week is central to an investigation of suspected sabotage that threatens to test the limits of maritime law—and heighten tensions between Beijing and European capitals.

Sweden’s prime minister has urged a Chinese ship linked to the cutting of two cables to move into Swedish waters, as the country steps up its investigation of the potential incident of sabotage in the Baltic Sea.

Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson stated, "We have been in contact with the ship and with China, and have stated that we want the ship to move toward Swedish waters." The bulk carrier has been in international waters in the Kattegat Strait since last week.
