Red Sea cable cuts disrupt internet in Asia and Middle East
DUBAI — Internet access in parts of Asia and the Middle East was disrupted after undersea cables in the Red Sea were cut, experts said Sunday, though the cause of the incident remains unclear.The outages have raised concerns about possible sabotage amid ongoing attacks by Yemen’s Houthi, who have previously denied targeting subsea cables.Undersea fiber links form one of the backbones of global internet infrastructure, alongside satellites and land-based networks.Microsoft said on its status website that the Middle East “may experience increased latency due to undersea fiber cuts in the Red Sea,” though it added that internet traffic not routed through the region was unaffected.NetBlocks, an internet observatory, reported “a series of subsea cable outages in the Red Sea”...
