Recent severing of undersea cables in the Red Sea has led to significant internet disruptions across Asia and the Middle East, affecting connectivity for millions. Microsoft has reported that its Azure cloud computing services are experiencing delays as a result of the cable damage, impacting up to 17% of global internet traffic. Users in the UAE and Pakistan have reported outages, with local internet service providers working to resolve the issues. The incident has raised concerns about potential geopolitical risks associated with critical internet infrastructure, as attacks by the Houthi group are suspected. As connectivity remains compromised, Microsoft is actively rerouting traffic to mitigate service disruptions.
