▼ + stars: | 2024-02-05 | by ( Mia Jankowicz | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +4 min

An analyst has warned that the Houthis' next target could be undersea internet cables. That analysis warned of the potential shift in the Houthi's strategy in the Red Sea. Such a move would see the Houthis' strategy shift from targeting shipping — itself deeply disruptive to the global economy — to the global flow of information. In the analysis published last week, analyst Emily Milliken at the DC-based Askari Defense & Intelligence described undersea cables as the Houthi's "next casualty." Advertisement"Even partial damage to the undersea cables could eliminate internet access across vast areas, causing major economic disruptions for entire countries," she wrote.

Read previewSpecial Counsel Jack Smith's team has been asking about two Mar-a-Lago locations that the FBI may have skipped in 2022 when it sought to recover missing classified documents, sources told ABC News. However, the reported line of questioning suggests that Smith's team believes further documents could remain in two locations not searched by the FBI. The unnamed sources told ABC News that the FBI didn't search a "hidden room" off Trump's bedroom that they had been unaware of, as well as a closet that was locked on the day. Smith's team learned soon after the search that officers had missed some of the rooms, the sources said. But a Trump spokesperson told ABC News that the document case comprises "just desperate attempts at election interference ... to stop the presumptive Republican nominee for President."

Ukraine has shared extraordinary footage of what it says is the sinking of a Russian ship. The claimed drone attack on Wednesday night sank the Ivanovets, Ukraine said. AdvertisementUkrainian forces claim to have sunk a Russian Black Sea Fleet warship in Crimea using home-developed naval drones, sharing spectacular footage that appears to show the attack. Ukraine has developed at least two naval attack drones, including the Cossack Mamai — capable of firing missiles — as well as the fast-moving Sea Baby. If confirmed, the loss of the ship would be a considerable boost for Ukraine, whose performance against Russia's Black Sea Fleet has been one of its most celebrated successes of the war.

Ukraine is limited to firing 2,000 artillery shells a day, roughly one-third of Russia's capacity, the country's defense minister, Rustem Umerov, said in a letter seen by Bloomberg. While Ukraine's Western allies stall, and US military aid is held up in Congress, Russia has ramped up production. AdvertisementMartin Herem, commander of Estonia's defense forces, told Bloomberg last week that he believes Russia is now capable of producing several million shells a year. Shell hunger is not a new problem for Ukraine — throughout the last year, soldiers often reported having to husband their ammunition supplies. Alongside further appeals to its allies, Ukraine has, in recent months, been refocusing on its domestic military production capacities.
