On Monday evening, internet networks in the Yemeni capital Sana'a and several provinces under Houthi control were subjected to a large-scale cyberattack, resulting in a near-total disruption of internet services.

Technical sources reported that the attack targeted "YemenNet," the main internet service provider, as well as 4G networks operated by "Yemen Mobile" and "You."

The incident caused most internet services to go offline, with connectivity remaining unstable late into the night.

A hacking group known as "S4uD1Pwnz" claimed responsibility for the attack. No official statement has been issued by the relevant authorities so far.

This cyberattack is considered one of the largest in the country’s recent history and highlights the vulnerability of digital infrastructure in the affected areas.

The incident is expected to have consequences for electronic services, communications, and potentially economic and security conditions.
