BERLIN (AP) — Finnish police said Tuesday that “there is no reason to suspect any criminal activity” in connection with damage to two data cables running across the land border between Sweden and Finland, saying the damage was created by excavation work.
The two cables were repaired Tuesday, a day after they were damaged, affecting 6,000 private customers and 100 businesses, a company providing digital infrastructure and data communication in Northern Europe said.
Global Connect said the internet cables were damaged in two separate places in southern Finland on Monday.
The first fiber breakage happened on Monday morning, the other one in the afternoon.
