The cities of Al-Khawkhah and Hays in Al-Hudaydah Governorate, western Yemen, are facing an interruption in communications and Internet services due to the interruption of the fiber-optic cable south of the city of Al-Jarrah, according to local sources.

This incident comes in light of recent tensions related to Houthi threats to target submarine Internet cables, which are a vital artery of global communications.

The Yemeni authorities affiliated with the Houthis have denied the idea of ​​targeting these cables.

However, concerns remain about the potential impact of these threats on the telecommunications infrastructure in the region.
