Al-Marsad newspaper: A report published on the Gulf International Forum website, on Tuesday, warned that Houthi attacks in the Red Sea could seriously disrupt communications and Internet services.
Submarine cables
The report stated that vital submarine cables may be a new target for upcoming Houthi attacks in the Red Sea, indicating an evolving threat that could seriously disrupt global communications and the economy.
He explained that the network of vital underwater communications cables could be an ideal easy target for the next Houthi attack, stressing that this possibility should concern all countries that depend on this vital infrastructure, both near and far.
Yemen
The report said that there are reasons due to which the submarine cables have remained safe until now, the most prominent of which is the relative technological backwardness of the Houthi group, as the group lacks the submarines necessary to reach the cables.
But a channel linked to the Houthis on Telegram published a report on December 24, attaching a picture to it, showing a map of submarine communications cable networks in the Mediterranean Sea, the Red Sea, the Arabian Sea, and the Arabian Gulf, and said: There are maps of international cables that connect all regions of the world across the sea. . It seems that Yemen is in a strategic location, as Internet lines that connect entire continents, not just countries, pass near it.”
