"Multiple Underwater Cables Damaged in Red Sea, Disrupting Global Internet Traffic"
TL;DR Summary
Undersea cables in the Red Sea have been damaged, causing a "significant" disruption to global internet traffic, with reports suggesting that up to 25% of internet traffic between Asia, Europe, and the Middle East has been affected. While it's unclear how the cables were damaged, Yemeni government officials warned that Houthi rebels may be responsible, although the rebel leader denied the allegations. Major internet providers have been forced to divert traffic, and tech giants with ownership stakes in underwater cables have not been impacted by the outage.
