Recent attacks by Yemen’s Houthi rebels on the Red Sea have caused significant disruptions in internet and banking services in Nigeria.
The attacks targeted crucial telecommunications infrastructure under the sea, resulting in the cutting of three cables essential for global internet and telecommunications connectivity.
According to officials cited by the Associated Press, the attacks on the Red Sea resulted in the cutting of three essential cables providing global internet and telecommunications connectivity.
The exact cause of the cable cuts remains unclear, raising concerns about the targeting of telecommunications infrastructure in the ongoing conflict.
The disruptions caused by the attacks have had a significant impact on internet and banking services in Nigeria. Telecommunications customers and banking clients have faced lengthy inconveniences due to interruptions in online transactions and internet connectivity.
The Houthi rebels have denied responsibility for the attacks on the undersea cables. However, there has been ongoing concern about the rebels’ campaign and its impact on telecommunications infrastructure in the region.
The Houthi rebels describe their actions as efforts to pressure Israel to end its conflict with Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
Authorities in Nigeria and telecommunications providers are working to restore services and address the disruptions caused by the attacks on the Red Sea cables. Efforts are underway to repair the damaged infrastructure and restore internet and banking services to normalcy.
