The kingdom of Tonga is cut off from the internet.

According to NDTV, local authorities called the incident a "national crisis."

In addition to the Internet, the country was cut off from the telephone.

Currently, communication on Tonga is established via satellite.

Cable repair is expected to take up to two weeks.

In 2017, the head of the British Defense Staff, Stuart Peach, said that Russia could pose a threat to the safety of transatlantic deep-water cables that run along the ocean floor between Europe and America.

Military expert Vasily Dandykin, in an interview with FAN, assessed Pich’s statement about the "threat" of transatlantic cables from Russia.
