Helsinki: Two Baltic Sea telecommunications cables that were severed in Swedish territorial waters have been repaired, their operators said on Friday, amid a probe into a Chinese ship in the area.
An undersea telecom cable connecting Finland and Germany that was ruptured on November 18 was back in operation and "fully restored", Finnish network operator Cinia said.
"The fault was repaired slightly faster than expected," Cinia CEO Ari-Jussi Knaapila said.
On November 17, the Arelion cable running from the Swedish island of Gotland to Lithuania was also damaged.
It too had been repaired and was working normally, Martin Sjogren, press officer for the Swedish telecommunications operator Arelion confirmed to AFP on Friday.
