Afghanistan experiences another nationwide telecom and internet disruption, affecting mobile and data services across major cities and provinces.
Sources indicate that Afghanistan has suffered a fresh nationwide telecom and internet outage, with mobile and data networks disrupted across Kabul and several provinces. This latest disruption follows earlier shutdowns in 2025 and raises renewed concerns about access to communication services during emergencies, education, and commerce. Service providers report limited connectivity or complete blackouts, disrupting banking, health services, and daily life. The authorities have not yet issued a detailed public explanation, but prior incidents were linked to policy decisions by the Taliban administration.
