Taiwan's coast guard has said that it suspects a ship damaged an undersea communications cable over the weekend, but that bad weather prevented its personnel from boarding the vessel to investigate.

The telecommunications cable connecting Taiwan to the mainland has been cut. Due to bad weather, a suspected vessel, a tanker under the Cameroonian flag, could not be detained and continued its journey to South Korea.
