Two undersea internet cables appear to have been severed in Europe this week as officials warn of potential Russian sabotage against Western infrastructure as it looks for an advantage in its war against Ukraine. A nearly 750-mile cable connecting Germany and Finland, which just joined NATO last year, stopped working during the early morning hours on Monday. “We are deeply concerned about the severed undersea cable connecting Finland and Germany in the Baltic Sea,” the two countries said in a joint statement. “The fact that such an incident immediately raises suspicions of intentional damage speaks volumes about the volatility of our times.” The countries said that an investigation was already underway and warned that Europe’s security was “not only under threat from Russia‘s war of aggression against Ukraine, but also from hybrid warfare by malicious actors.” “Safeguarding our shared critical infrastructure is vital to our security and the resilience of our societies,” they added. A 135-mile undersea internet cable stopped working on Sunday that connected Lithuania and Sweden, which just joined NATO earlier this year. Lithuania’s Telia Lietuva Chief Technology Officer Andrius Šemeškevičius said: “The cable was cut on Sunday morning, at around 10:00.” Carl-Oskar Bohlin, Sweden’s minister of civil defence, told the media on Monday that it was critical that authorities quickly learn why the two cables were no longer working. There was no official indication that sabotage was to blame as investigators still worked to locate the exact area where the cables were cut. However, given the rugged design of the cables, human activity was almost certainly to blame for the damage, experts said. The fact that two separate cables were damaged in the span of less than 24 hours — each of which connected two different NATO members — raised fears of sabotage.

Elon Musk’s SpaceX is set to conduct a sixth flight test of Starship on Tuesday, culminating in another attempt to catch the Super Heavy booster in midair as it returns to earth. According to a release posted on the SpaceX website, a 30 minute launch window opens at 4 p.m. CST. Live broadcasts will be available on the website, on the X TV app, and on X via @SpaceX. The schedule is fluid and could change at any time. Noting the success of the fifth flight test — which saw the Super Heavy booster caught successfully by the “chopsticks” — the release stated that the sixth flight test aimed to expand on SpaceX’s achievements. “The next Starship flight test aims to expand the envelope on ship and booster capabilities and get closer to bringing reuse of the entire system online. Objectives include the booster once again returning to the launch site for catch, reigniting a ship Raptor engine while in space, and testing a suite of heatshield experiments and maneuvering changes for ship reentry and descent over the Indian Ocean,” the release read. “The success of the first catch attempt demonstrated the design feasibility while providing valuable data to continue improving hardware and software performance,” it continued. “Hardware upgrades for this flight add additional redundancy to booster propulsion systems, increase structural strength at key areas, and shorten the timeline to offload propellants from the booster following a successful catch. Mission designers also updated software controls and commit criteria for the booster’s launch and return.” SpaceX has additional flight tests planned, and predictions for a seventh include a Starship that “will fly with significant upgrades including redesigned forward flaps, larger propellant tanks, and the latest generation tiles and secondary thermal protection layers as we continue to iterate towards a fully reusable heat shield.” The ultimate goal is to increase the reliability and reusability of multiple components within the Starship system, SpaceX said. “Learnings from this and subsequent flight tests will continue to make the entire Starship system more reliable as we close in on full and rapid reusability.”

THE DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—Jose Ibarra, the alleged murderer of 22-year-old nursing student Laken Riley, traveled from New York City to Georgia after requesting a humanitarian flight, his roommate testified Monday. Ibarra is currently standing trial after being charged for the murder of Riley, who died in February from blunt force trauma to the head outside of the University of Georgia’s campus. Ibarra’s roommate, Rosbeli Elisber Flores-Bello, testified that she and the suspected murderer arrived at the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City and requested a humanitarian flight to Athens, Georgia, in September 2023. “In Manhattan, we requested a humanitarian flight to come here to Atlanta,” Flores-Bello said when asked how they arrived in Georgia. Flores-Bello resided with Ibarra and his two brothers in Athens at the time of Riley’s murder; she told the jury Monday that her roommates showed no emotion or reaction when she informed them of Riley’s death, according to CNN. The former roommate said she identified Ibarra in surveillance footage while being questioned by police on February 23. Ibarra, a Venezuelan national, illegally entered the U.S. through the southern border near El Paso, Texas, in September 2022 and was later released into the country on parole due to the lack of detention space at the time. He was later arrested for allegedly acting in a manner to injure a child less than 17 years old in New York City, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Federal immigration law under the Biden-Harris administration allows the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to “parole” migrants instead of detaining them for “humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit,” which has been challenged by many Republican-led states. An affidavit released in February revealed that Ibarra caused “bodily harm” to Riley by “seriously disfiguring her body” and skull with an inanimate object. He allegedly dragged Riley to a secluded area and caused blunt force trauma with the object. Originally published by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
