    • Restoration efforts are underway, with no reported impact on subscribers.

    What happened: Rostelecom reports Baltic Sea cable damage, investigation underway

    On February 10, 2025, Rostelecom announced that one of its underwater cables in the Baltic Sea had sustained damage due to an unspecified external impact. The cause of the damage has not been confirmed, but officials are investigating the incident.

    The damage follows a series of recent disruptions to undersea cables in the Baltic region, raising concerns about the security of critical communication and energy infrastructure. Although no direct impact on customers has been reported, restoration teams are working to repair the cable as quickly as possible.

    NATO and regional security agencies have increased monitoring efforts due to the frequency of such incidents, though no official link to sabotage has been established.

    Why it’s important 

    Undersea cables are essential for global communications, carrying vast amounts of data between countries. Any damage to these infrastructures poses risks to connectivity, security, and economic stability.

    The recent pattern of cable disruptions in the Baltic Sea highlights vulnerabilities in subsea infrastructure and underscores the need for enhanced monitoring and protective measures. As geopolitical tensions persist in the region, ensuring the security of critical infrastructure is becoming a growing concern for governments and telecom providers.
