Yi Peng 3
The Yi Peng 3 is a Chinese ship owned by a ship company in Ningbo, Zhejiang. On 17 November, the ship, sailing through the Baltic Sea, damaged cables linking Sweden and Lithuania as well as cables linking Finland and Germany. This act was suspected by officials to be sabotage, though both China and Russia denied this accusation. NATO called for the increased protection of assets undersea.[1]
Baltic Sea voyage
[edit]The Yi Peng 3 left the port of Ust-Luga, Russia, a week prior to the incident. On November 17, the ship cut through the cable that linked Sweden and Lithuania, and with twenty-four hours severed the cable between Finland and Germany, which is the only cable linking the two countries. The Yi Peng 3 was identified at both scenes, and by the time it reached the Great Belt, the Royal Danish Navy started follwoing the ship.[2]
