NATO Intelligence Official Warns Russia Could Target Undersea Pipelines and Cables
In a recent warning, a senior NATO intelligence official highlighted the “significant risk” of Russia targeting critical infrastructure in Europe and North America, including undersea gas pipelines and internet cables. David Cattler, NATO’s assistant secretary general for intelligence and security, expressed concerns over Russia’s “active mapping” of gas pipelines and internet cables, both on land and seabed, using its considerable resources for surveillance of infrastructure. Cattler stated that Moscow could deploy civilian and spy ships for surveillance purposes. The sabotage of Nord Stream pipelines in the Baltic in September 2020 exposed the vulnerability of undersea gas pipelines, while undersea cables that carry 95% of internet traffic were also potentially at risk. The warning highlights the need for heightened security measures to protect critical infrastructure against possible Russian confrontation.
