    I've seen this reported in a few different places over the past week or two and it never seems particularly legit - does this paywalled article have any hard facts or is it more 'we heard on social media'?

      It quotes a Hong Kong telco and Yemen's telco ministry, seems legit.

      The stuff in the last couple weeks was blatant imperial fearmongering about Ansar Allah doing something that they were planning on doing. Nordstream 2 all over again.
