Nationwide internet blackout hits Afghanistan: AFP journalists

A huge internet blackout hit Afghanistan on Monday, weeks after Taliban authorities began severing fiber optic connections in multiple provinces.

AFP lost communication with its bureau in the capital Kabul around 6:15 pm (1315 GMT).

"We're now observing national connectivity at 14 percent of ordinary levels," said Netblocks, a watchdog organization that monitors cybersecurity and internet governance.

"A nation-wide telecoms blackout is now in effect."
