Telecommunications company Telia reported that the cable connecting Lithuania and Sweden was severed on Sunday. Telia provides internet connection using three cables, thus the bandwidth had decreased by a third due to the incident. Connection was restored by bypassing the failure.
In total two undersea fibre-optic communications cables were cut. The other, 1,200-kilometre long one, connecting Finland and Germany stopped working on Monday night.
