I dislike the immediate jumping to “war, sabotage, destruction!” that happened in this article. Cable breakage happens quite often, and sometimes are caused by such menial things as sea debris, or at times, sharks chewing on them [1].

If you look at all the oceans as a whole, sure.

Baltic? A tiiny tiny area of water. Critical infrastructure?

It’s sabotage.
