Finland hit by fiber-optic cable outage

GlobalConnect is working to repair a broken fiber-optic cable on land in Finland, the digital infrastructure and data communication provider said on Tuesday.
Two separate breaches to the cable caused a major outage in Finland, GlobalConnect said on its website, adding that no sea cables were affected.
The incidents occurred on Monday afternoon local time, and repair work has since been underway, the company said.
One of the two breaches had been repaired by Tuesday morning while the company was still working to fix the second, it said.
"Major outage in Finland caused by separate incidents in our network, no sea cables are affected," GlobalConnect said.
Finland said it was investigating the causes of the two separate breaches.
