AIS-data does not show any explanation as far as I can see.
The closest to anything suspicious I find is previous cable destroyer VEZHEN passing through (likely unrelated).
@vesselspotter.eurosky.social spot anything?

The Irish Navy did not send one naval vessel to VEZHEN after the drone sightings, but TWO ships. Obviously the irish had quite high proof or suspicions about VEZHEN being used as a base for the drones.

The manager of sabotage cable suspect VEZHEN has blamed ”hydrometerological” conditions for V losing her anchor and dragging it for approximately 300-400 km.
The worst wind seen was 29 knots. Highest wave 2.6m. Generally much calmer.

Here is all open ship traffic as seen by Marinetraffic at the time of cable breakage: VEZHEN, SILVER DANIA and FINNLADY.
Only VEZHEN has speed dynamics indicating anchor sabotage.

Looks like Swedish coast guard has a catch. VEZHEN being escorted by KBV 033 toward Karlskrona. @auonsson.bsky.social identified VEZHEN as the most likely candidate for Sweden - Latvia cable breach.
Would guess Swedes want to replicate the Finnish helicopter landing on VEZHEN. Live on Marinetraffic

/1. Swedish authorities boarded a Maltese-flagged ship “Vezhen” seized in connection with the latest breach of cables running along the bottom of the Baltic Sea to begin an investigation.
On the published photo of a seized ship a heavily damaged anchor is visible.

Actually, VEZHEN has been in Sweden for hours.
Grey line is 12 mile territorial limit.
This makes everything a lot easier legally. So, THIS is the diversion? Too easy! =)

Swedish Coast Guard is investigated the exact spot and area where "accidental" cable ripper ship VEZHEN passed a month ago.
This is likely the explanation to yesterday's "new" cable damage.
If this was discovered last days, I wonder how thorough the Swedish investigation was.

Meanwhile, as most eyes are on Vezhen (now near Karlskrona), PSKOV as another suspect (AIS was off while it went over the cable) is being escorted by 3 military ships from Finland and Estonia.

Olisiko ajatus seilata Karlskronan satamaan tarkempiin tutkimuksiin?

Just on Marinetraffic: Swedish KBV 033 has intercepted VEZHEN which @auonsson.bsky.social identified as the most likely candidate for the sabotage. Seems like VEZHEN has changed course more to Swedish territorial waters.
