Australian Federal Police are investigating two undersea communication cable faults that occur minutes apart near Perth. Reports say the incidents involve damaged cables used for communications, and investigators are working to determine the cause.
Subco founder Bevan Slattery sends what he describes as an “urgent message” to Australian police, urging a rapid probe. According to the account cited by one outlet, a marine vessel was reportedly near the locations at the same time as the faults. Authorities are assessing the information provided but have not confirmed whether the damage is the result of sabotage or other suspicious activity. Different outlets focus on the urgency of the request and the timing of the reported vessel presence, while stopping short of concluding motive or responsibility.
Overall, the public information emphasizes the close timing of the faults and the ongoing investigation’s uncertainty regarding cause.
