Russian Sub That Caught Fire Possibly Sent to Cut Internet Cables

On Monday, a Russian submarine caught fire during a mission, killing 14 sailors on board.
But the public didn't find out about the incident until the next day, when Russia finally released a statement about the accident — though two days after the event, the nation still wouldn't say exactly what kind of sub caught fire or whether it was nuclear-powered.
A possible reason for Russia's caginess? Multiple sources are now claiming the sub was an AS-12 "Losharik," a nuclear-powered submarine some speculate was designed to cut the undersea cables that deliver internet to the world.
