Internet access across several East African countries was disrupted on this week due to damaged undersea cables, global web monitor NetBlocks said. Tanzania and the French Indian Ocean island of Mayotte were the hardest hit, the internet surveillance group said. «The incident is attributed to failures affecting the SEACOM and EASSy subsea cable systems,» it said on X, formerly Twitter, referring to submarine communications cables that connect the region. The faults were on cables between Mozambique and South Africa, according to Tanzania's information and technology minister Nape Nnauye. Mozambique and Malawi were seeing a medium impact while Burundi, Somalia, Rwanda, Uganda, Comoros and Madagascar had less severe outages, NetBlocks said. West African nation Sierra Leone was also affected. Services had been restored in Kenya, NetBlocks said but many users reported patchy connectivity. Kenya's biggest telecoms operator Safaricom said it had «activated redundancy measures» to minimise the interruption. «You may, however, experience reduced internet speeds,» it told its users on X. Most of the world's internet traffic passes through scores of fibre optic cables laid along seafloors, with one of the longest, at 15,000 kilometres (9,300 miles), stretching from Portugal to South Africa. In 2009, SEACOM launched Africa's first fibre-optic cables connecting the eastern and southern coasts, according to its website. Several West and Southern African countries suffered similar outages in mid-March because of damage to the cables. © Agence France-Presse

The Republic of Singapore Air Force's (RSAF) F-16 crash at Tengah Air Base on May 8 was due to an aircraft component malfunction, the Ministry of Defence (Mindef) stated in a press release on Saturday (May 18). American aerospace and defence manufacturer Lockheed Martin (LM) and the RSAF had conducted investigations following the crash of the F-16 last Wednesday and determined the cause of the accident to be the simultaneous malfunction of pitch rate gyroscopes. «The flight data recorder recovered from the crashed F-16 showed that its pitch rate gyroscopes gave erroneous inputs to the flight control computer,» the statement read. «This led to the pilot being unable to control the plane at take-off.» According to the release, all F-16 fighter jets are fitted with four such gyroscopes. The simultaneous failure of gyroscopes is «very rare», so LM has no stipulated maintenance for the component. Mindef also stated that this is the first such simultaneous malfunction of the pitch rate gyroscopes for the RSAF's entire F-16 fleet over the course of their 35 years of operation.

A routine walk with her dog took a terrifying turn when a woman saw monkeys making a beeline for her and her pet. Speaking to AsiaOne, the 30-year-old social media content moderator, who wished to be known as Rohini, said she was taking her dog on their usual walk along Yishun Ring Road around noon on (Wednesday) May 15. She then spotted a pair of monkeys on the opposite side trying to cross the road. Finding their behaviour endearing, she momentarily stopped to take a quick video of them from a distance before continuing on. However, Rohini forgot to stop recording and unintentionally captured the moment the monkeys began running across the road towards her and her dog. In the video, which was later posted to TikTok, one of the monkeys is seen running up to Rohini and her dog while she screams in fear and starts running.

The Ministry of Health (MOH) said the estimated number of Covid-19 cases in the week of May 5 to 11 rose to 25,900 cases, compared with 13,700 cases in the previous week.
