International communications experts revealed, on Sunday, the reasons for the interruption of a number of communications cables in Bab al-Mandab..

This comes after a controversy with the disruption of communications and the Internet in a number of countries.

International media quoted experts as saying that the outage resulted from the fall of the anchor of the British cargo ship, Ruby Mar.

The sources explained that the ship’s crew decided to drop the anchor into the sea after it was targeted on the eighteenth of last February.

It is not clear whether dropping the anchor in that area through which the communications cables pass was intentional or as part of attempts to prevent the sinking of the ship and stabilize it, but its disclosure resolves the controversy raised by American and Israeli media, holding those they describe as the “Houthis” responsible for the internet outage. And communications, despite Sana'a reaffirming that it will not target submarine cables.

Communications and the Internet were cut off in countries, most notably India and African countries, with the International Telecommunications Company revealing that 4 marine cables had been damaged. Sanaa, in a statement from the Ministry of Communications, accused Britain of causing the communications and Internet to be cut off earlier this week.
