Data provider about their damaged cables: 'Right now we have no indications of sabotage'

Martin Lippert, director of the data provider GlobalConnect, which has had two internet cables damaged in Finland, does not believe that there are any signs that the breaks are due to sabotage.

- We do not have any indication at this time that it is a question of sabotage, he says.

- Our first indication is that for one cable it is about an excavator cutting the cable in connection with some construction. I do not know anything about the other yet, he says.

Earlier today, Sweden's Minister for Civil Defense said that there was suspicion of sabotage.
