Isn't it nice to know that 17% of world telecom traffic depends on "Yemen Telecom?"
Its a bit like finding out that 30% of our cancer drugs come from "Somalia Health and Wellness Inc"
The satellites will be first to go.
Meant NATO, not BATO.
First the satellites will be taken down. Everyone will be blind, but Russia (and China) will be operating on their home turf.
I hope you are being facetious..
Many of the invaders from the south are setting up Sleeper Cells to do just that, and more.

The cables are probably plowed into the bottom and may also be armored to protect against anchor damage.
So you need to drag a plow with a cutting blade instead of an anchor. The cable may not need to be cut. Bending and stretching are not good for optical fibers inside the cable.

There is a strong suspicion that the actions were a dry run for a much broader attack on communication with Taiwan.
On February 2, 2023, a Chinese fishing vessel sailing close to the Matsu Islands severed one of the two cables, which connect the islands with Taiwan proper. Six days later, a Chinese freighter cut the second cable. The Matsu Islands, which belong to Taiwan, are now left with rudimentary communications.”...
