Those logs don't say much I think, it's basically the modem reporting
that there is a (network initiated?) disconnection. so MM reports that
as well:

Just to make sure there isn't any more info, I manually decoded all
the fields in that indication:

00:00:00:00 session id --> 0
03:00:00:00 activation state -> deactivated
00:00:00:00 voice call state -> none
00:00:00:00 ip type --> default
7E:5E:2A:7E:4E:6F:72:72:73:6B:65:6E:7E:5E:2A:7E context type -> Internet
00:00:00:00 nw error -> unset

Someone should add "printable" message contents to libmbim debug logs...
