Internet cables connecting Asia and Europe in the Red Sea have been cut
05.03.24
Three telecommunications cables, which play an important role in the operation of the global Internet, were damaged in the Red Sea. These cables are part of a critical data route between Asia and Europe.
The damage affected 25% of traffic passing through the Red Sea and destined for Africa, Asia and the Middle East. Seacom, which serves Djibouti, said preliminary tests indicate the damaged cables are within maritime jurisdiction of Yemen, on the southern Red Sea.
Last month, the Yemeni government said the Houthis were planning to attack internet cables. However, after the cables were damaged, the Houthis denied any involvement in the incident and blamed British and US military operations, although they have not provided evidence for their claims.
Seacom said it was rerouting traffic, although some services continue to experience problems. At the same time, Tata Communications, part of the Indian conglomerate and owner of the Seacom-TGN-Gulf line, said it had immediate steps taken to restore the line after it was interrupted.
