Below information is very entertaining. Absolutely not sure, that it will confirmed, but ... At the present time, with daily geological surprises... I would not be surprised if it will true

Volcanic eruption damaged fiber optic cable Russia - Georgia04.01.2013 23:08
From the Black Sea at 61 kilometers from the Georgian port of Poti on Friday raised portion of fiber-optic backbone cable Poti-Novorossiysk and Sochi (included in submarine cable system "Georgia-Russia"),
which was damaged on 23 December in a volcanic eruption, said to " Interfax" executive director Foptnet Kote Samushia.
"The rise of the damaged cable at a depth of 1300 meters the crew carried a special ship that was called from the Italian port of Catania and began to work on January 3," - said K.Samushiya.
According to him, on a
raised cable is clearly marked with signs of fire, which destroyed the polyethylene and damage the protective shield.
"Experts believe that it is caused by an underwater volcanic eruption, recorded on December 23 in 18 hours 51 minutes, after about half an hour after the incident on the day of the earthquake in the Black Sea," - said K.Samushiya...

Submarine Eruption in the Black Sea off Georgia Not Likely
By Erik Klemetti01.11.1310:52 AM
Interesting conclusions. Firstly:
"Now, I don’t know what really happened off of the Georgian coast — maybe the earthquakes in late December triggered some submarine landslides that severed the cables. Why there were visible signs of fire are beyond me — especially with the supposed explanation of a submarine lava flow, you wouldn’t expect much fire and especially wouldn’t expect it to neatly sever the cable. However, I think we can safely say that the chances of this being a submarine eruption in the Black Sea are infinitesimally low. Just another cautionary tale of not believing what you read in the news with checking for yourself, especially if it seems incredible/unexpected"
But right here the following line:
"UPDATE 11:45 AM 1/11/13: Adam Forte, who works in this region, left a 5 Commentst suggesting it could be a mud volcano that ignited hydrocarbons/methane. No evidence, but a great idea for what might be actually happening"
There is a feeling that one somewhat contradicts another
Then in followed comments:
"Ed K
Interesting idea, but when I got to thinking about where the oxygen would come from I remember that the lower levels of the Black Sea are anoxic and also full of hydrogen sulfide. Then I remembered way back to ASW school and something about submarines having problems with corrosion if they operated below a certain depth in that body of water. So this whole lava-melted-the-cable story may be some fanciful explanation an exec came up with for a corroded cable."
Sure this idea is certainly non-operating :
specialists in paving and maintenance of submarine cables is quite able to distinguish corrosion of the cable from melting by the high temperatures
