Lithuania's Navy has ramped up its surveillance activities following the recent damage to an undersea communications cable linking the nation with Sweden. The incident has prompted concerns over potential sabotage.

Collaborative assessments are underway, involving Lithuania and its allies, to determine the cause of damage to one of the two fibre-optic cables severed in the Baltic Sea.
