There has been a complete Internet blackout in Afghanistan

On September 29, the international monitoring service NetBlocks announced a complete Internet blackout in Afghanistan on its Telegram channel. According to the organization, this is due to the actions of the authorities of the Taliban movement (banned in the Russian Federation) aimed at "observing morality."

"Afghanistan is now in a state of complete disconnection from the Internet as the authorities take steps to respect morality," NetBlocks said in a statement.

According to the service, telephone service is also disrupted in the country.
