Damaged Undersea Cable That Could Isolate Tonga Will Take Month To Repair

Saturday’s volcanic blast in the Polynesian kingdom was one the largest recorded in decades.
Wellington, New Zealand:
An undersea cable connecting volcano- and tsunami-hit Tonga with the rest of the world will take at least a month to repair, New Zealand’s foreign ministry said Wednesday.
“US cable company SubCom advises it will take at least four weeks for Tonga’s cable connection to be repaired,” the ministry said in an update on the disaster, which has cut the small South Pacific nation from the rest of the world.
