3 submarine cables cut in the Red Sea between Jeddah and Djibouti. AAE-1, EIG and SEACOM/TGN-Eurasia are down. Note: Authorities looking at potential terror link.
Confirmed: Submarine cables cut by Houthis in Yemen waters.
To repair the cables, need permission from Yemen to enter their waters
Insurance companies have canceled insurance for cable ships to ply in Yemen waters
No maintenance cable ships willing to do repairs
Cable ships cost $60-&100 million each. Who will take the risk?
Submarine cables getting cut is not scary. What is scary is there is no timeline when they could be restored in the Red Sea.
All of a sudden every reporter is focused on who cut the cables off of Yemen. The real concern should be how to repair them. I do not see a solution until this war is over.
