The Ministry of Transport and Maritime Affairs Authority in the Yemeni government in Sanaa rejected claims made by the United States and Britain regarding the cutting of undersea cables in the Red Sea and condemned the act of sabotage, describing it as "criminal".

Israeli newspaper Globes reported earlier that at least four underwater communication cables were damaged in the sea between Jeddah in Saudi Arabia and Djibouti in East Africa, accusing the Yemeni Armed Forces of allegedly being behind the operation.

The Yemeni government in Sanaa affirmed on Saturday that the US-UK aggressions against the country have caused a disruption in the undersea cables, jeopardizing the security and safety of international communications.

The Ministry added that Sanaa "is keen on the security and safety of undersea cables in Yemeni waters, in accordance with international laws, treaties, and agreements."

It pointed out that "the Republic of Yemen is also keen on the interests of the countries associated with the cables as obligated by laws, agreements, international treaties, and the common interests between Yemen and other states."

The statement also emphasized that the United States and Britain are using aggressive and illegal methods in their war on Yemen in order to serve the Israeli enemy to continue committing genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza.

It clarified that the hostile acts against Yemen pose a major challenge to the stability of the telecommunications infrastructure and negatively affect the technical and information services that rely on these cables worldwide.

The Ministry condemned "the cutting of undersea cables in the Red Sea," considering it "an unacceptable and condemned act by Yemen and all countries in the world as it is a criminal and illegal act. It added that "the Israeli enemy, along with the United States and Britain, have been seeking since the beginning of their illegitimate operations in the Red Sea to escalate the situation with their false claims regarding the issue of undersea cables."

"The international telecommunications company providing internet services confirmed in its statement that Sanaa has no relation to the damage to the internet cables, refuting the reports promoting this claim," the Ministry said, confirming that "undersea cables are a vital part of the global communications infrastructure."

Furthermore, it announced that any disruption in the undersea cables as a result of militarizing the Red Sea by US and British naval forces constitutes a serious threat to information security and the economic and social stability of all countries worldwide.

The Ministry expressed "its readiness to provide all services and grant the necessary permits to the internet service providers to repair the damage to the undersea cables."
