I think sabotage implies intent.

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:

audience finds that interesting.

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