A joint investigation involving China, Germany, Sweden, Finland, and Denmark has been initiated regarding the Chinese cargo ship Yi Peng 3. This vessel is suspected of being linked to the recent damage of communication cables in the Baltic Sea, which occurred between Finland and Germany, and Sweden and Lithuania.

While the damaged cables have resumed functioning, concerns about potential sabotage linger. The ship, currently anchored in the Kattegat strait, was observed near the affected cables shortly before the incidents.

Authorities have found no seismic signals indicating an explosion, yet the situation raises alarms about security in the region. Prime Minister Donald Tusk emphasized the unsettling nature of such events for nations surrounding the Baltic Sea.

As the investigation unfolds, China has permitted representatives from the involved countries to board the Yi Peng 3, although the mystery surrounding the ship remains unresolved.
