Institute of Marine Research underwater equipment cut and dragged in Norway

Summary:

In August 2021, the Norway based Institute of marine research experienced an attack on their undersea sensors. The Russian saboteurs managed to physically cut and drag underwater surveillance equipment away from its position, thereby destroying the sensors and making it impossible for the institute to monitor activities underwater. The reason the saboteurs did this, is to create a military strategic advantage. Because now, the Russians can move around the area with their submarines, without the Norwegians knowing about it.
