Internet service was affected on Sunday in some parts of Asia, including India, and other countries in the West and East. This happened due to the cutting of a sea cable in the Red Sea. Experts gave this information. But, it is not yet clear how this phenomenon happened.
However, concerns are being expressed that these Huti rebels of Yemen are targeting these cables. The rebels are considering it an attempt to force it on Israel so that they can end the war against Hamas in Gaza. However, the Huti rebels have previously denied such attacks.
Internet connectivity influenced
NetBlocks, an organization monitoring Internet access, said that Internet connectivity has been affected in many countries due to cutting several underwater cables in the Red Sea. Which includes India and Pakistan. He said the problem was due to a technical defect in the SMW4 and IMEWE cable system near Jeddah in Saudi Arabia.
South East Asia Middle East Western Europe (SMW4) cable is run by Indian company Tata Communications, which is part of a large Indian group. At the same time, another consortium India runs the Middle East Western Europe (IMEWE) cable, which is monitored by Alcatel-Lucent. Both companies have not yet responded to this.
Impact up to Dubai
Saudi Arabia has not yet accepted the internet service disruption and the officials there have not responded to a comment request. In the United Arab Emirates, where Dubai and Abu Dhabi are located, Internet users complained of slow internet motion on the network of government -owned companies Du and Etisalat. The government also did not accept the problem immediately.
What did Microsoft say?
Microsoft said on its status website that cutting underwater cables in the Red Sea could reduce internet speed in West Asia. Redmond, Washington -based company has not yet given details, but said that Internet traffic has not been affected by not going through Western Asia.
Huti rebels suspect
The incident of cutting cables inside the sea has occurred at a time when Yemen's Huti rebels are constantly attacking Israel over the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza bar. Israel has also carried out airstrikes, killing many major leaders of the rebel organization.
In early 2024, Yemen's internationally recognized government-decentant accused the Huti rebels of organizing an underwater cable in the Red Sea. Many cables were cut, but the Huti rebels denied the involvement. On Sunday morning, Huti-backed Al-Msirah Satellite News Channel acknowledged that the cable cut was actually.
