Critical gas pipelines, power lines and data cables are the “soft belly of British security,” ministers have been warned.

Britain’s undersea infrastructure is highly vulnerable to Russian sabotage.

That’s the stark warning from defense and energy experts ahead of the country’s major strategic defense review, expected next week.

They warn that critical gas pipelines, power lines and data cables are the “soft belly of British security” — leaving the country exposed to potentially “catastrophic” sabotage at the hands of Russia or other enemies.
