00:00President Lai Jingde says internet and phone connections are stable after reports that
00:05nine undersea cables around Taiwan were damaged.
00:09He wrote on social media platform Threads that there were three affected cables and
00:14repairs should be finished by November.
00:17Taiwan has seen a sharp increase in undersea cable damage over the past year.
00:22In June, a Chinese ship captain was jailed for sabotage.
00:26Officials say such incidents are part of China's gray zone tactics aimed at undermining Taiwan's
00:31telecom security.
00:33The cause of this latest damage is still unclear.
