    A communications cable between Lithuania and Sweden was cut on Sunday   
    morning around 10:00 a.m. local time, a spokesperson from   
    telecommunications company Telia Lithuania confirmed to CNN.   
      
    The U.S. has detected an increase in Russian military activity   
    around deep sea telecommunications cables, and believes the Kremlin   
    could be directing operations to disable them. Jim Sciutto has details   
    in an exclusive CNN investigation.   
      
    The company’s monitoring systems could tell there was a cut due to the   
    traffic disruption, and that the cause was likely physical damage to   
    the cable itself, Telia Lithuania spokesperson Audrius Stasiulaitis   
    told CNN. “We can confirm that the internet traffic disruption was not   
    caused by equipment failure but by physical damage to the fiber optic   
    cable.”   
      
    Another cable linking Finland and Germany was also disrupted, according   
    to Cinia, the state-controlled Finnish company that runs the link. The   
    C-Lion cable – the only direct connection of its kind between Finland   
    and Central Europe – spans nearly 1,200 kilometers (730 miles),   
    alongside other key pieces of infrastructure, including gas pipelines   
    and power cables.
