 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.
