The strong product G1 £G2 of graphs G1 and G2 is the graph with V (G1) × V (G2) as the vertex set, and two distinct vertices (x1, x2) and (y1, y2) are adjacent whenever for each i ∈ {1, 2} either xi = yi or xiyi ∈ E(Gi). In this note we show that for two connected graphs G1 and G2 the edge-connectivity λ(G1£G2) equals min{δ(G1£ G2), λ(G1)(|V (G2)|+2|E(G2)|), λ(G2)(|V (G1)|+2|E(G1)|)}. In addition, we fully describe the structure of possible minimum edge cut sets in strong products of graphs.
