Microsoft announced that delays have occurred in the Azure cloud computing platform services due to damage to the underwater cables beneath the Red Sea. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
This issue mainly affects internet connections passing through the Middle East. The company did not provide specific information about how the cables were damaged but is trying to restore services by rerouting traffic through other routes.
Internet network observers noted that disruptions were also felt in India, Pakistan, and some Asian countries. Pakistani officials stated that the cable was cut near Jeddah and emphasized that problems might arise during peak hours because of this.
According to experts, underwater cables are the main backbone of the internet network. They can be damaged due to natural factors or technical malfunctions.
In some cases, these cables are deliberately targeted. Therefore, the condition of underwater cables is crucial for the stability of internet connections.
Companies and experts are constantly taking measures to quickly resolve these issues.
