LONDON: Syria’s state-owned telecom operator restored internet traffic to normal capacity on Wednesday via the undersea fiber cable connecting the coastal city of Tartus with Alexandria in Egypt. Syria Telecom announced on Monday that the Tartus-Alexandria cable had been subjected to an “act of sabotage,” affecting internet service for users across the country, according to the Syrian Arab News Agency. It redirected internet traffic through the Ugarit Cable System, a 239 km undersea cable that connects Tartus to Pentaskhinos in Cyprus.

The affected cable connects Syria to Egypt and is one of four cables that link to the coastal city of Tartous.
