An official source at the Public Telecommunications Corporation (“PTC”) and TeleYemen stated that the engineering teams, following gaining access to the international telecommunications and internet gateway building in Hodeidah city, on Sunday 23.11.2022, started the process of assessing the damages that resulted from the direct airstrike on the building on Thursday, 20.01.2022, which led to severe damages and destruction in the building and rendered its technical equipment out of service.

Keen to restore the service at the earliest possible time, the engineering teams proceeded with transporting, replacing, and repairing damaged installations. The teams worked around the clock to resolve issues that resulted from the massive destruction of technical equipment and installations, and it is expected that the service will be resumed within the coming few hours.

The source indicated that PTC and TeleYemen are always keen to provide telecommunications and internet services, with impartiality and professionalism, to all people in the Republic of Yemen and that they spare no effort in doing so. PTC and TeleYemen renew the call to all parties to neutralize the telecommunications and internet service sector, protect it and spare its facilities the targeting and bombardment.
