Houthis Allegedly Damage Four Subsea Cables in Red Sea, Impacting Global Connectivity

A series of disruptions to undersea internet cables in the Red Sea has been reported, allegedly caused by Houthi rebels targeting four submarine cables, including SEACOM, as reported by Israeli media. This has led to significant network disruptions at Data Centers in Djibouti and damaged a subsea cable off the coast of Yemen that connects Europe to India, posing challenges for underwater repairs in a war zone. Americans blame Ansarullah for the attack, which has notably impacted Gulf states and India. The situation, which includes damaged cables between Saudi Arabia and Djibouti and between the United Arab Emirates and Djibouti, underscores the vulnerability of global telecommunications infrastructure to such attacks. Blockchain and AI are suggested as potential solutions to thwart these disruptions.
