Red Sea Undersea Cable Cuts Disrupt Connectivity Across Middle East and South Asia
Multiple submarine internet cables in the Red Sea have been severed, causing widespread connectivity issues across India, Pakistan, and several Middle Eastern countries. The disruptions affect millions of users and highlight how fragile our global digital infrastructure really is.
These underwater cables, which most people never think about, carry over 95% of all international internet traffic. When several cables get cut at once in a critical location like the Red Sea, the effects ripple across entire regions, slowing down everything from video calls to online banking.
