Houthi rebels disrupt communications between Europe and Asia by damaging submarine cables

Four submarine communication cables between Saudi Arabia and Djibouti have been damaged in recent months, causing significant disruption to communications between Europe and Asia.

The Israeli news site Globes reported that the damage to the cables, which belong to the AAE-1, Seacom, EIG, and TGN systems, is believed to be the result of attacks by the Houthi rebels in Yemen.

The attacks have caused widespread internet outages and disruptions in telecommunications services in the region.

In addition to the damage to the submarine cables, the Houthis have also launched a missile attack on a US-flagged tanker in the Gulf of Aden.

The US Central Command (CENTCOM) said that the missile was fired on February 24 and missed the tanker, the MV Torm Thor, causing no damage or injuries.

The Houthis have accused the US and UK of targeting civilians in airstrikes in Yemen.

The Houthi-controlled Saba news agency reported that one civilian was killed and eight others were injured in airstrikes on February 24.

The US and UK have confirmed that they carried out airstrikes against Houthi targets in Yemen on February 24.

The airstrikes were carried out in response to the Houthi missile attack on the MV Torm Thor.

The escalation of violence in Yemen is a major concern for the international community.
