Internet services were partially disrupted in Egypt on Wednesday due to damages in an undersea cable.

A submarine cable near Egypt's north coast has been cut, said a source from the Telecom Egypt Company as reported by the Middle East News Agency.

The source added that they have not yet determined the reasons behind the damages.

Telecom Egypt announced that the internet services will be recovered gradually and be back to normal by night, adding that they are providing alternative capacities to internet users.
