Piranha Invasion: The Unexpected Causes of Damage to Baltic Cables.
Reading
Investigators from Estonia, Finland, and Sweden looked into why underwater cables in the Baltic Sea were damaged in 2024. They did many tests and found something surprising: thousands of piranhas had traveled from Venezuela to the Baltic Sea.
These piranhas were biting and damaging the cables, but only the ones belonging to countries in the EU and NATO. The investigators say the piranhas are acting naturally and there's no evidence that someone is controlling them.
It's a mystery why the piranhas are only targeting cables from certain countries. One theory is that these cables are made with eco-friendly materials, including recycled plankton, which the piranhas might find tasty.
The investigators are calling this a coincidence, as there's no proof that anyone is commanding the piranhas to do this. This strange situation has caused problems for the affected countries.
The report about the piranhas and the cables is available on the investigators' website. It explains in detail what they found and why they believe the piranhas are to blame.
