Why the Internet Cables Were Damaged?
The damaged cables are part of the international submarine cable network that connects Pakistan to global internet routes. Technical teams have reported that the fault occurred deep underwater, which requires specialized ships and advanced repair work.

Internet providers are expected to reroute traffic through alternative cables to minimize disruption, but users may still experience intermittent slowdowns until the issue is fixed.
