It was the latest in a series of murky incidents that have prompted theories that China and Russia may be turning to cable sabotage as a form of harassment at sea.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The cable that was damaged connected Taiwan to the Penghu Islands, which belong to Taiwan and lie about 30 miles west of the main island. Taiwan\u2019s Coast Guard said that it was still investigating the latest incident and had not reached any conclusions about whether the severing was deliberate or accidental.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But Ou Yu-fei, a press officer for the coast guard, said initial clues pointed to the detained ship, a dilapidated cargo carrier that used more than one name, including \u201cHong Tai 58.\u201d The ship had Chinese funding, the coast guard <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cga.gov.tw\/GipOpen\/wSite\/ct?xItem=164475&amp;ctNode=650&amp;mp=999\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">said in a statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThis was the only vessel in the area \u2014 that\u2019s our judgment,\u201d Mr. Ou said in a telephone interview, citing radar records of where the cable break occurred. \u201cWe\u2019re not ruling out the possibility that it was engaged in an act of sabotage. We go by the evidence. It\u2019s too early to reach conclusions.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Ou added that the ship may have used a false registration number and appeared to have suddenly had its name changed, among other details.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The ship may have severed the cable \u2014 accidentally or deliberately \u2014 around the time that a Chinese coast guard ship warned it to leave the vicinity in the early hours of Tuesday, he said. \u201cIt is possible that it used the time when it was leaving to carry out sabotage,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The cable that was broken is one of several connecting the Penghu Islands, also called Pescadores, to the main island. Communications were quickly rerouted after the damage was detected, and there was no major outage, the authorities said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Taiwan usually depends on undersea cables for its internet connections with outlying islands, such as the Penghu Islands, as well as for its connections to the rest of the world. Cables can be severed by natural factors like earthquakes or aging, but <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/cablesource.com.sg\/common-causes-of-subsea-cable-damage-and-how-to-prevent-them\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">the most common cause<\/a> is when ships drag anchors or fishing equipment that scrapes the sea floor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Recent incidents off Taiwan and in the Baltic Sea have raised suspicions among some officials and experts that China and Russia may sometimes deploy commercial cargo ships or oil tankers to deliberately cut cables by dragging their anchors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Two years ago, a cable between Taiwan and Matsu Island was severed. Earlier this year, a digital cable connecting Taiwan with South Korea, Japan, China and the United States was damaged, and <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/01\/07\/world\/asia\/taiwan-internet-cable-china.html\" title=\"\">Taiwanese authorities said<\/a> that a Chinese ship may have dragged its anchor across the cable, either accidentally or deliberately. In November, two fiber-optic cables under the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/11\/19\/business\/finland-germany-cable-baltic-sea.html\" title=\"\">Baltic Sea were severed<\/a>, and countries in that region have been investigating a Chinese-flagged commercial ship that may have been involved.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In January, two cables between Taiwan and Matsu suffered damage, but <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.taipeitimes.com\/News\/front\/archives\/2025\/01\/22\/2003830652\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">officials quickly said<\/a> that the cause was natural deterioration of the cables.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Since those incidents, Taiwan\u2019s government has stepped up monitoring of its subsea cables. The ship suspected of involvement in the latest severing had been watched by Taiwan\u2019s Coast Guard since Saturday, partly because it seemed to be lingering in areas with undersea cables off Taiwan\u2019s southern coast, said Mr. Ou, the press officer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">At about 2:30 a.m., a Taiwanese coast guard patrol ship that was in the cargo carrier\u2019s vicinity \u2014 about seven miles out of a port \u2014 moved in closer and ordered it to leave, because it was too near an area with undersea cables and had its anchor down, Kuan Bi-ling, the minister of Taiwan\u2019s Ocean Affairs Council <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/100044196351429\/posts\/1197319371751263\/?mibextid=wwXIfr&amp;rdid=nCpUH9dIjWWDGErS#\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">said in an online statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Over half an hour later, the ship pulled up its anchor and began moving, Ms. Kuan said. But at 3:24 a.m., the coast guard received a report that the cable had been cut, and brought the ship into port, where it is being investigated. The coast guard said that it has also sent the case to prosecutors for additional inquiries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async
