Mobile internet connections in Krasnodar face numerous criticisms due to frequent cuts.
In the city of Krasnodar, Russia, residents are currently experiencing a mobile internet outage. This disruption is linked to security measures aimed at countering drone attacks and perceived threats to strategic facilities.
The ongoing outage has caused inconvenience for many, with some residents unable to track public transportation routes using apps like Yandex.Maps, or call taxis due to the malfunctioning of mobile internet services. In one instance, a reader of Yuga.ru reported that her husband had to take his parents to the train station at 5 AM because they couldn't call a taxi.
The authorities in Krasnodar, led by Stanislav Zavalny, head of the Krasnodar region's Department of Information and Communications, have stated that mobile internet providers will restore access as soon as the drone threat is eliminated. However, the outages have been intermittent, with the mobile internet being restored around 11:30 PM, only to go down again at midnight.
In addition to the mobile internet outages, it appears that Wi-Fi networks in Krasnodar have also been affected. For instance, a taxi driver in Krasnodar asked a passenger to share his Wi-Fi to complete a ride at 2 AM.
The authorities in Krasnodar don't plan to completely block mobile internet, but they are taking measures to slow down connection speeds to ensure safety. This is part of a broader strategy to impair enemy coordination by limiting mobile internet connectivity, as a response to drone attacks on strategic enterprises and infrastructure in other parts of Russia.
The safety of Kuban residents is the top priority for the authorities, according to Zavalny. While the region is not detailed as extensively as Volgograd or Siberian areas in the available data, it is included among the regions experiencing mobile signal issues and related internet service disruptions due to heightened security concerns and drone threats from Ukrainian forces.
