"Underwater Cable Attacks: Houthis' Disruptive Impact on Global Communications"

Yemenite rebels, the Houthis, have damaged four submarine communications cables in the Red Sea, causing significant disruption to Internet communications between Europe and Asia, particularly affecting the Gulf countries and India. The repair of these cables, which may take at least eight weeks, poses a risk due to the ongoing threat from the Houthi terror organization. The affected cables include EIG, TGN Atlantic, AAE-1, and Seacom, impacting connectivity between Southern Europe, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Djibouti, the UAE, India, East Asia, and Europe.
