I'm not sure what hard evidence you might like. There are a small number of
methods by which submarine cables become damaged - anchors are right up
there. In this particular case, there aren't a lot of other possibilities.

There are only two cable repair ships. It will be a while before there can
be forensic examination.

We looked into how RIPE Atlas saw these cable cuts:

I hope this audience finds that interesting.


The rumours floating around about this being sabotage, with no hard
evidence supporting such claims, is pretty wild.
