If they were cut simultaneously or close enough AND they weren’t routed together (I’ve seen cases where the main fiber and backup fiber were in the same trench for a distance, backhoe magnet) then it’s pretty good guess it’s intentional sabotage.

However if one line had been cut at some point earlier and they were ON the backup line when that got cut, it could be sabots or it could just be generic construction mistakes/idiocy.



Apparently two lines were sabotaged earlier today, one in Berlin and one in Dortmund [1].

The two cities are around 500km / 300mi apart.
