"Undersea Cable Attacks Reshaping Naval Warfare: The New Threat from Russia and Houthis"

Suspected Houthi attacks on undersea cables in the Red Sea highlight the emerging threat of undersea warfare, where undersea infrastructure is increasingly targeted. With the world's reliance on undersea infrastructure for power, natural gas, oil, and internet connectivity, attacks on these vital systems are expected to become more common. The ambiguity and indirect nature of undersea attacks make them tempting targets for hybrid warfare, with the potential for small countries and non-state actors to leverage this threat. As technology advances, the potential for attacks on seabed infrastructure in future hot wars is becoming increasingly realistic, requiring high-quality intelligence and careful planning.
