Internet outage in Krasnodar Territory hinders taxi callings and toll payments on the second consecutive day
In the bustling city of Krasnodar, residents and tourists have been left without mobile internet since yesterday, as reported by Elena. Similar outages have affected multiple cities in the Krasnodar region, including Novorossiysk and Aphekonsk. The cause of these disruptions can be traced back to government-imposed restrictions aimed at countering potential drone attacks and enhancing security.
These mobile internet blackouts are part of a broader pattern across many Russian regions, executed as preventive measures to block enemy coordination via mobile networks. Authorities claim that these outages prevent enemies from using mobile networks to coordinate attacks on defense facilities and public infrastructure, especially drone strikes. This strategy involves shutting down or throttling mobile internet, including specific disruptions to services like WhatsApp and Telegram voice/video calls.
The outages have severely impacted daily life, making it challenging for people to work remotely, make contactless payments, call taxis, or access timely information. This has caused widespread dissatisfaction among residents and tourists alike. Despite the challenges, Wi-Fi works fine within Krasnodar, but communication outside becomes limited to SMS or calls.
Meanwhile, in Novorossiysk, mobile internet was cut off yesterday morning and hasn't been restored since. The situation in Novorossiysk is similar to that in Krasnodar, with limited mobile internet access. In Aphekonsk, a city in the Kuban region, the mobile internet outage marks the second day without service. The outage in Aphekonsk is part of a broader issue affecting mobile internet in several cities in the Kuban region.
Elsewhere in the region, some locals in Sochi report that Wi-Fi isn't working, but mobile internet is available, albeit with reduced speed. Communication via messaging apps is limited outside home Wi-Fi zones in Krasnodar due to the mobile internet outage.
The ongoing attacks by Ukraine in the Krasnodar region have not been restricted to Krasnodar, Novorossiysk, and Aphekonsk. The news about the attacks, damage, and drone debris in the Krasnodar region is being reported by "Live Kuban". Reports indicate that drone debris has been found scattered across various locations in the Krasnodar region due to the ongoing attacks.
MTS and Megafon are particularly affected by the mobile internet outage in Novorossiysk and Krasnodar, respectively. The continued attacks by Ukraine have resulted in damage across different areas in the Krasnodar region. The outages in Krasnodar and Novorossiysk, along with existing issues like GPS jamming on the Black Sea coast, which affects geolocation and taxi hailing, have compounded the difficulties faced by residents and tourists in the region.
For the latest news about the situation in the Kuban region, residents can turn to the Telegram channel of "Live Kuban". Elena also mentioned that helicopters have been flying low over the city, which is unsettling. Despite the challenges, the resilience of the people in Krasnodar and the surrounding cities remains unwavering as they navigate through these unprecedented times.
