A Bulgarian shipping company on Monday denied that one of its ships had intentionally damaged an underwater fiber optic cable connecting Latvia and the Swedish island of Gotland.

A Bulgarian cargo ship may have damaged the underwater cable in the Baltic Sea, raising suspicions of a possible "sabotage act." Investigators are examining whether an anchor was involved in the incident,

Sweden on Sunday said it had seized a ship suspected of having damaged a fibre-optic cable under the Baltic Sea linking the country to Latvia, which sent a warship to investigate the latest apparent act of sabotage.
