There's only one country who has been running around doing this the past two decades. They've been confirmed to be in these areas, AND they have the capability.

Ladies and Gentlemen...RUSSIA!

You sad ass pieces of shit.

To be honest I'd be surprised if this was Russia. It's certainly not outside of Russia's capabilities, but at the end of the day they're just cables. Plenty of the Red Sea is right next to Houthi-controlled territory and not all that deep. Something like this is commercially available and easily capable of reaching the floor of the area near the Bab el-Mandeb that any cables from Europe to East Asia have to go through

I mean depending on how deep they are they wouldn't even really need that. I imagine you could just drop an anchor and drag it.
