I was gonna share this report in the middle east section. I think there's something going on here. But technically it is a technology topic. I still think something is scwewy about it, though.

In a statement, the company blamed "multiple simultaneous fibre cuts", which are very rare. The issue, which lasted for about two hours, was caused by multiple fibre cables being physically cut at the same time, a highly unusual thing to happen.
BBC Monitoring confirmed that internet access in Bulgaria, Iran and Turkey had been disrupted for about two hours on Thursday morning.

No explanation for the cut cables has been offered.
