Sabotage fears rise as Gotland's water supply targeted
The Swedish police have launched an investigation into an attempted sabotage on Gotland, which took place on Sunday at approximately 3:00 PM GMT. The incident could have led to a drinking water shortage on this strategically located island in the Baltic Sea.
Susanne Bjergegaard-Pettersson, responsible for Gotland's water and sewage network, explained that the power supply to the pumps was interrupted. This could have caused serious problems with the island's drinking water supply.
Gotland, the largest island in the Baltic Sea, is inhabited by 61,000 people and is strategically significant for Sweden. The authorities have confirmed that an investigation into possible sabotage is ongoing.
The return of the military to Gotland
In recent years, the Swedish military has returned to Gotland due to its strategic location southeast of Sweden's coast. The incident with the power supply interruption to the water pumps highlights the importance of securing critical infrastructure on the island.
The Swedish police are investigating this matter, and the results could have significant implications for Gotland's energy and water security.
The island's authorities and SAPO special services are monitoring the situation to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.
