Ah, the “unusually unlucky” cables serving Taiwan and in the Baltics.

Like statistically impossibly unlucky.

Yes, I admire the restraint required to not put "unlucky" in quotes.

At least for the Baltics, there is the unique aspect of the infamous "shadow fleet". Utterly derelict ships with barely qualified crews.

Ordered to swim back and forth with anchor down until they catch something.
