Ukrainian TV channel became a victim of deliberate sabotage
Unknown persons deliberately cut the fiber optic cables of the Kyiv TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
This is stated in the press service of the TV channel. https://www.kyivtv.com.ua/stn/item/18403-pereryvannia-efiru-kanalu-kyiv-umysna-dyversiia-foto-video
This became clear when the repair team discovered a second cable break, at a distance of 200 meters from the break, which was discovered during the day.
And if the first break can still be considered an accident, the channel is sure, then the second break was obviously intentionally made by a special tool.
Moreover, the repairmen discovered that several meters of the cable were missing - it was likely that the attacker (or attackers) had taken a section of it with them.
It should be noted that several dozen different cables are stretched in the communication well, but the attackers cut only one cable - the Kiev TV channel.
Now the cable has been repaired, and the channel has gone on air after many hours of silence.
The on-air signal of the Kyiv TV channel suddenly stopped today, at about 13.00. Special equipment showed that there was a break in the cable approximately 80 meters from the TV channel building. Since the communication line runs in special underground communications, which are a strategically protected facility, the Kiev TV channel contacted law enforcement agencies with a corresponding statement.
