News Communication problems to the middle east

It seems that some underwater cables have been damaged near Alexandria. This has cut off around 70% of internet and phone communications to India and other countries in the region.

Probably due to ship anchors dragging the cables, but seismic activity and even sabotage have not been ruled out yet.

With luck, the cables should be fixed within the next couple of weeks. :crossed:
