An assessment is now being carried out along with allies, a spokesperson for the Lithuanian armed forces told Reuters.
The cable was one of two fibre-optic cables in the Baltic Sea which were severed in recent days, raising suspicions of sabotage by bad actors, countries and companies involved said on Monday .
A spokesperson for Arelion, the owner and operator of the communications cable, told Reuters on Tuesday that the link between Lithuania and Sweden was "fully out" but that the reason remained unclear.
