“25% of Internet traffic is disrupted due to damage to approximately 15 submarine cables.
One of the largest Internet providers in Hong Kong, HGC Global Communications, claims “significant disruption” in Internet traffic.
Damage to the cables led to problems with communications between Asia, Europe and the Middle East,” the material says.
It is noted that among the affected networks is Asia-Africa-Europe 1 (AAE-1), a cable system with a length of more than 25 thousand km.
The Euro-India Gateway (EIG), which connects Europe, the Middle East and India, was also damaged.
“The cost of shipping cargo due to the missile threat in Yemen has increased by 600% for some shipowners, to whom the Yemenis attribute ties to the United States and Israel,” adds Military Chronicle.
Earlier, a member of the Politburo of the Shiite movement Ansar Allah (Houthis) ruling in northern Yemen, Khuzam al-Assad, said that the submarine communication cables between Europe and Asia were not damaged by Yemen.
