The veins of modern life have ​rather banal names. C-Lion 1 is the name of the fiber optic cable connecting Rostock and Helsinki. This is a 1,173 ⁤kilometer long information highway at the bottom‍ of the Baltic Sea. Or⁢ rather, it was until Monday. The connection has since been severed. And this is according ⁤to‍ the Federal government probably not caused by the ‌anchor of a ‍fishing ‍vessel. “No one believes that these cables were accidentally cut,” ⁤says Defense Minister Boris Pistorius (SPD).‍ Rather, sabotage must be assumed. Again.
