The successful targeting of the four cables, which are believed to belong to the AAE-1, Seacom, EIG, and TGN systems, marks a serious disruption of communications between Europe and Asia.

Four underwater communications cables between Saudi Arabia and Djibouti have been struck out of commission in recent months, presumably as a result of attacks by Yemen’s Iranian-backed Houthi rebels, according to an exclusive report in the Israeli news site Globes.

The successful targeting of the four cables, which are believed to belong to the AAE-1, Seacom, EIG, and TGN systems, marks a serious disruption of communications between Europe and Asia.
Most of the immediate harm will be absorbed by the Gulf states and India, Globes said.

The AAE-1 cable connects East Asia to Europe via Egypt, connecting China to the West through countries such as Pakistan and Qatar.

The Europe India Gateway (EIG) cable system connects southern Europe to Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Djibouti, the UAE, and India.

The Seacom cable connects Europe, Africa, and India, and is connected to South Africa.

Houthi attacks continue despite Western responses
Yemen’s Iranian-backed Houthi movement, which is not the internationally recognized government of the Arab country but which controls its most populous segments, has been attacking international trade for months, proclaiming solidarity with Palestinians as Israel wages war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

The United States, United Kingdom, and allies have begun in recent months to take offensive actions against the Houthis in response to attacks, but the missile, helicopter, and underwater drone assaults on merchant ships have continued.

Blame Israel, they made it very clear that these attacks in the red sea will continue unless Israel put an end to the massacre in Gaza

Remember when they threatened to attack cables underwater. Well, I think they were able to carry out some attacks.

Since Tinubu became president, terrorism activities has been on the increase all over the world. What a bad luck of a president.

Now these ones are blowing off Internet cables. But wait o, can't these companies make everything wireless? Like, send and receive information through satellite. Why the need for cables again?

Nice2023:



The Houthis are the most formidable terror gang in the world.

Currently,no country has been able to dislodge them including the Combined forces of the Saudis and the Emirati. In fact,if not for America that has deterred them,they could have reached Israel long ago.

houthi's have the backings of iran...the saudi's had issues in communication during their war with the houthi's making them to suffer many casaulties during the war. If u.s wants to clear out houthi's wont take them one month to do so.

Oh, I didn't realise cutting off the cables would stop Israel from wiping out Hamas. I reckon you are intelligent enough to know that this cable attack isn't just affecting one country, it's hitting loads of countries, so you can carry on backing the Houthi terrorists without a clue.

The only massacre that happened was when Hamas daftly invaded Israel on October 7. Why are you moaning now that Israel is fighting back?
Cope harder!
