"The incident has not caused any effects for Lithuania," the NKVC informed ELTA, adding that new incidents with telecommunications infrastructure have not occurred in the country.

Digital infrastructure provider GlobalConnect reported on Tuesday that it was repairing the cable between Finland and Sweden. Sweden suspects an act of sabotage.

In November, subsea internet cables between Lithuania and Sweden, as well as between Germany and Finland were severed in the Baltic Sea.

Telecommunications provider Telia informed ELTA on Tuesday, that the cable with Sweden has been repaired and is now operating as normally.

The Financial Times previously reported that the vessel Yi Peng 3, sailing under the Chinese flag, might have deliberately cut the subsea cables in the Baltics.

Lithuania launched an investigation into terrorism, whereas Sweden is probing sabotage over the incident.
