According to the report, the interruption has started when both cables go offline.
Reported by local media, IMEWE and SEAMEWE 4, which account for almost 50% of Pakistan's Internet traffic, have gone offline due to a flaw in their location that has not yet been determined.
In June, “multiple cable cuts” resulted in Internet outages that resulted in service interruptions.
