Internet access via mobile devices might experience temporary disruptions in Crimea and Kuban regions.
In recent days, residents of Crimea and the Kuban region have experienced a disruption in their mobile internet services. The security measures enforced by Ais Group are in response to increased attacks originating from Ukraine, although the specific locations within these regions and the nature of these attacks have not been specified.
The administration of the Krasnodar region has yet to comment on the situation, while Sewastopol Governor Mikhail Razvozhayev has urged residents to prepare for potential disruptions. He has also confirmed that restrictions are already in place in the region and may be extended.
On August 8, residents of the Kuban region reported a massive outage of the internet. However, it is not yet clear whether this outage is related to the current mobile internet shutdown. The exact duration of the shutdown is also not specified.
Despite the disruption, people in the affected regions can send SMS for free during the mobile internet shutdown. Home internet continues to function as normal.
The increased attacks are occurring ahead of the much-anticipated meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Joe Biden in Alaska. The meeting is taking place as diplomatic tensions between the two nations remain high.
It is worth noting that the available information focuses more on the broader conflict, diplomatic negotiations about security guarantees, and ongoing Russian military operations primarily in eastern Ukraine. No explicit details on enhanced security measures or new defenses in Crimea or Kuban in response to Ukrainian attacks have been found in the search results.
As the situation develops, it is advisable for residents to stay informed and prepared for any potential disruptions. More specific, localized security information about Crimea and Kuban may require direct intelligence reports or official Russian military communications, which are not readily available in open-source assessments.
