In Crimea, Russian officials have announced possible prolonged shutdowns of mobile internet aimed at countering Ukrainian drone attacks. The corresponding statements were made by the governor of Sevastopol, Mikhail Razvozhaev, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, information and communication of the annexed peninsula.

The authorities indicated that these measures could be implemented to ensure the safety of citizens, although the exact duration of the shutdowns was not specified. Razvozhaev emphasized that residents of Sevastopol have already reported regular interruptions of mobile internet during attacks by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

In publications, officials also emphasize that in connection with the threat of repeated terrorist attacks from Ukraine, additional security measures may be introduced in the southern regions of Russia that lead to restrictions on access to mobile internet in unforeseen terms. Thus, residents of Crimea may be prepared for digital isolation, which will affect communication, access to information, and everyday life in the region.
