Should we be concerned about this?
Sounds like we should.

I saw another news story elsewhere, about "Russia" posturing by loitering warships near under sea communication cables, and that , supposedly, they might be demonstrating how easily 'the internet' could be threatened if the physical links were somehow severed.

We've come to rely heavily on something that is not robust, and not easily protected.
