COPENHAGEN (Reuters) - A Russian telecoms cable in the Baltic Sea suffered an outage last month and is now undergoing repairs by Russia, the Finnish economy ministry said on Monday, adding to a spate of damage to the region's subsea infrastructure.

The 1,000 kilometre (620 miles) Baltika cable belonging to state-owned Rostelecom runs from the region of St. Petersburg to the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad in the southern Baltic Sea.
