Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that Yemen is suffering from a nationwide internet blackout since the Saudi-led coalition targeted the telecommunications tower in Al-Hudaydah last night.

NetBlocks, which monitors internet networks, showed the blackout began at around 1 am.

Yemen's Al Masirah TV said the airstrike on the telecom building led to civilian casualties and showed footage of people digging through the rubble looking for victims.

The Saudi-led coalition said it launched "precision airstrikes around Al-Hudaydah port," and some news websites reported that the maritime FALCON cable, which is owned by telecom company TeleYemen, supplies Yemen with internet through Al-Hudaydah port.
