Georgia and Armenian disconnected for 12 hours due to… an old lady?

Apparently the nation of Georgia and Armenian received a huge Internet sabotage due to a very bad luck. Internet outage lasted for 12 hours, but there’s no issue with the country’s backbone, and there’s no undersea cable that got damaged. How the hell the Internet got disconnected all of a sudden?
Well, all these were performed by a 75-year old lady from Georgia. While foraging for copper wire near her home in the village of Ksani, the unnamed septuagenarian managed to come across a critical fiber optic cable, one responsible for serving internet connectivity to “90 percent of private and corporate internet users in Armenia” and some in her own country as well. Her swift strike at the heart of said bit-transferring pipeline resulted in all those folks being thrown offline for a solid 12 hours, while the Georgian Railway Telecom worked to find and correct the fault. Sure took them by a massive surprise, and one might even think of this as a late April Fool joke.
In spite of her relatively benign motivations, the lady now faces three years in prison for the damage she caused. Crude? Can’t really say that as she did ‘sabotage’ the whole nation’s critical infrastructure.
