Description

A series of attacks targeting approximately 30 telecommunication masts, primarily along the E22 highway on Sweden's east coast, is under police investigation as sabotage. The sabotage incidents have disrupted signals and caused power outages, affecting telecom services, with a notable increase in such incidents recently. Authorities suspect coordination as the incidents form a pattern and are investigating possible connections between the attacks. The Swedish Post and Telecom Authority experienced power cuts during Easter affecting their operations, and the issue is considered serious due to its impact on critical communications infrastructure. The investigation into this major crime is led by the Kalmar police, with suspicions pointing to organized sabotage against nationwide telecom infrastructure.
