Russia experienced a widespread mobile network outage on Monday, May 5.
More than 2,000 complaints were registered about issues with Beeline mobile operator, while over 1,500 users reported problems with Tele2. MegaFon also received over 600 complaints, along with reports involving other operators.
According to Sboy.RF portal that monitors interruptions in the work of electronic communication systems, cellular communication and Internet services crashed mostly in Moscow.
Mobile internet was not available for over an hour, users complained.
Beeline told TASS that mobile service in Moscow may experience disruptions due to reasons beyond the operators' control.
This morning’s widespread mobile network disruptions reportedly stem from the implementation of emergency civil defense measures aimed at ensuring public safety during the holiday period in May and could be linked to preparations held for Victory Day Parade.
