Aden, Newsyemen:
The Public Telecommunications Corporation and the Yemen International Telecommunications Company (TeleYemen), which are under the control of the Houthi militia - Iran's arm in Yemen - announced in Sana'a that 60 percent of the international capacity of the Internet was out of service, today, as a result of a cut in one of the international routes outside Yemen.
The Houthi media quoted an official source in the Public Telecommunications Corporation as saying, "The external disruption to international Internet connections has affected the Internet traffic in most governorates of the republic."
The source indicated that communication with international suppliers is currently underway and arrangements are made to provide alternatives through temporary routes until the technical defect is fixed and international capacities are restored to normal as soon as possible.
