Sweden's defence minister says there was "ship movement" close to the area where two undersea telecoms cables were severed in an act of "possible sabotage". The C-Lion 1 submarine cable connecting Helsinki and the German port of Rostock was cut south of Oland island in Swedish waters, some 700 kilometres (435 miles) from Helsinki on Monday. Early Sunday, another telecoms cable, the "Arelion", running from the Swedish Baltic Sea island of Gotland to Lithuania, was also damaged. The four countries affected by the cuts -- Finland, Germany, Lithuania and Sweden -- have all launched investigations into the incidents. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
