**Sweden Investigates Chinese Ship in Baltic Sea Cable Damage**
The Swedish authorities are looking into possible damage to two communication cables in the Baltic Sea. They want to know if a Chinese cargo ship called Yi Peng 3 was involved. The investigation started after reports of sabotage were made.
According to tracking data, the Yi Peng 3 traveled near the damaged cables on November 17 and 18. These dates match when the cables were cut. The Swedish government is working with the police, Coast Guard, and Armed Forces to find out what happened.
The Yi Peng 3 is a ship from China that was traveling from Russia to Egypt. It is owned by a company in China called Ningbo Yipeng Shipping. A spokesperson for the company said that the Chinese government asked them to cooperate with the investigation.
**Concerns About Sabotage**
These cables are important because they connect Sweden and Finland with Germany and Lithuania. Cutting them could be considered an act of sabotage. This incident is happening at a time when there have been warnings about Russia’s actions in the Baltic Sea region.
Recently, unknown actors damaged two Russian gas pipelines called Nord Stream 1 and 2. There are also concerns about China supporting Russia’s actions in Ukraine.
