According to media reports, a Chinese freighter has become the focus of a Danish naval investigation into the case of the damaged data cable in the Baltic Sea. The ship „Yi Peng 3“ made conspicuous maneuvers south of the Swedish island of Öland early on Monday, reported the Financial Times on Tuesday, citing security circles. The cable damage is suspected to have occurred not far from the island. According to records of data from tracking apps, it is known that the 226-metre-long ship stopped, drifted and made two circles in the sea area south of Öland for almost 90 minutes on Monday morning.
