[Regnum] Four submarine cables were damaged in an attack by Yemen's Ansar Allah movement (Houthis) in the Red Sea, Israeli newspaper Globes reported. The publication claims that the attack caused disruptions in Internet communications between Europe and Asia. The Gulf countries and India suffered the most from the consequences of this situation. As Regnum reported, on February 22, earlier the leader of the Ansar Allah movement, Abdel Malik al-Houthi, said that in the 20 weeks since the start of this organization’s military operations in the Red and Arabian Seas, the group had attacked 48 sea vessels. He warned that the Houthis would escalate their attacks. On February 24, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) reported that the Houthis had attacked the British freighter Rubymar in the Red Sea. After this, an oil slick appeared on the surface of the water. In turn, the military representative of the Ansar Allah movement, Yahya Saria, wrote that the Houthis allegedly fired several anti-ship missiles at the American ship Torm Thor in the Gulf of Aden. He did not specify whether the shells reached their target. |
