US officials warn of increasing Russian military activity around undersea cables, raising concerns about potential sabotage. Russia has strengthened a secretive military unit, GUGI, which deploys surface ships, submarines, and naval drones for undersea operations. The US and its allies closely monitor Russian ships near critical maritime infrastructure worldwide. Undersea cables carry vital global communications and electricity, making them potential targets. A coordinated attack could disrupt telecommunications, financial markets, and energy supplies. The US considers such sabotage a significant escalation, with risks of miscalculation and unintended conflict.
