Russian ships ‘mapping North Sea targets as part of sabotage plan’, report claims

[admin]

Russian ships have been mapping wind farms and communication cables in the North Sea ahead of a possible sabotage attack, according to a new report. The claim is part of a report put together by broadcasters across the four Scandinavian states, which alleges that vessels disguised as fishing trawlers are being used as part of reconnaissance missions in the area. In a report due to be broadcast on Wednesday by DR in Denmark, NRK in Norway, SVT in Sweden and Yle in Finland, officials say they have intercepted communications from vessels who have turned off their transmitters to avoid being tracked.
