Russian attacks kill 7 in Ukraine as Kyiv targets gas plants deep in Arctic
Ukraine launches one of its deepest strikes to date, targeting natural gas plants in Russia's Arctic region.
In April, Britain, Norway, and the United States uncovered a covert Russian operation in Arctic waters near Svalbard. The Kremlin denied conducting sabotage operations in NATO countries or plotting any confrontation. The Russian operation involved deep-sea submersibles simulating the deployment of a sophisticated, destructive technology to disable critical undersea cables without leaving any fingerprints.
These cables are vital for global internet connectivity and financial transactions. The operation, carried out by Moscow's GUGI undersea warfare directorate, was tracked and confronted by a joint effort involving Britain, Norway, and the United States. The vessels were prevented from completing their exercise and eventually left the area. Russian officials consistently deny any involvement in sabotage operations in NATO countries.
