Sweden, Latvia, NATO On High Alert After Baltic Undersea Data Cable “Damaged”

ER Editor: We’ve been tracking these undersea cable outages in the northern Europe area for a while. We strongly urge readers not to buy into the ‘Russia (or China) did it’ nonsense. See —

Readers of this site know that we pay attention to what is called the ‘white hat’ military. See this for more. We have a pretty shrewd idea that the US has been under a military Continuity of Government operation during ‘Biden’s term. So our question at this point is:  what is NATO? What actually remains of the original institution? Does it even make sense to say that ‘NATO is on high alert’?

Interestingly, the communication highway for Latvian State Radio and Television Centre has been affected.

The third severing of an undersea cable in just three months occurred on Sunday, this time between Latvia and Sweden in the Baltic Sea. The incident has prompted a criminal investigation and heightened concerns of potential sabotage by Russia or China.

Latvia’s State Radio and Television Center, a data transmission provider, released this statement about the damaged cable connecting Ventspils in Latvia and Sweden’s Gotland island:

In the early morning of January 26, the submarine fiber optic cable of the Latvian State Radio and Television Centre (hereinafter – LVRTC) in the Baltic Sea was damaged. The LVRTC Data Transmission Monitoring System recorded disruptions in data transmission services on the Ventspils – Gotland (Fårösund) section. LVRTC continues to provide services using other data transmission routes. Currently, there is a possible delay in data transmission speed, but it does not affect end users in Latvia for the most part.

Prime Minister Evika Silina commented about the incident on X:

Early morning today we received information that the data cable from Latvia to Sweden was damaged in the Baltic Sea, in the section that is located in the Exclusive economic zone of Sweden. 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. Authorities have intensified information exchange and started criminal investigation.

Sweden, Latvia, and NATO are on high alert:

Over the past 18 months, three alarming incidents have been reported in which commercial ships traveling to or from Russian ports are suspected of severing undersea cables in the Baltic region.

Washington Post recently cited Western officials who said these cable incidents are likely maritime accidents – not sabotage by Russia and/or China.

Due to all the cable severing risks, intentional and unintentional, a report from late November via TechCrunch said Meta planned a new “W” formation undersea cable route around the world to “avoid areas of geopolitical tension.”
