TL;DR

Finland's transport agency reported that fiber-optic cables connecting Finland and Sweden were accidentally cut during construction work, contradicting earlier suspicions of sabotage by Swedish authorities. The cables have since been repaired, and the incident affected around 6,000 households in Finland without impacting Swedish users. This event occurs amid heightened tensions in the Baltic Sea region following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
