Russia Suspected of Using Fishing Vessels to Spy on UK's Undersea Cables
The Telegraph reports that Russia is deploying fishing trawlers to gather intelligence on the UK's critical undersea cables, which connect Britain to Europe and the United States. Over 500 suspicious movements of 17 Russian ships have been recorded, with vessels repeatedly slowing down, changing course, and following cable-laying routes. British officials fear this activity could help Moscow identify targets for future sabotage. NATO is monitoring the situation, and the UK government is considering tougher penalties for attacks on underwater infrastructure.33 sourcesSee all sources
