UK faces chaos after severed undersea cables disrupt communications and services

Two undersea fiber-optic cables were recently severed in the Baltic Sea, raising concerns about the UK's vulnerability to internet disruptions. A Chinese ship was spotted near the cables before the incident, but the cause remains unclear. As more cables were cut, the UK faced widespread communication failures, affecting banking, emergency services, and transportation. By the second day, over 35 cables were reported severed, leading to chaos, power outages, and a national emergency declaration. The situation escalated into lawlessness, with looting and violence reported across major cities. The government struggled to respond as critical infrastructure collapsed, leaving the public in panic and uncertainty.
