Undersea cables cut in the Red Sea, disrupting Internet access in Asia and the Mideast

DUBAI: Undersea cable cuts in the Red Sea disrupted Internet access in parts of Asia and the Middle East, experts said Sunday, though it wasn’t immediately clear what caused the incident. There has been concern about the cables being targeted in a Red Sea campaign by Yemen’s Houthi rebels, which the rebels describe as an effort to pressure Israel to end its war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip. But the Houthis have denied attacking the lines in the past. Undersea cables are one of the backbones of the Internet, along with satellite connections and land-based cables.
