Two consecutive days in Krasnodar were marked by a disruption in mobile internet services.
In the city of Krasnodar, Russia, residents were left in a state of confusion as mobile internet services went down on August 8, 2025. The outage affected all major providers, causing inconvenience for people in their daily lives.
Reports of the absence of mobile internet began pouring in, with "Sboi.rf" confirming that the outage occurred 99 times in the last three hours. The lack of mobile internet made it difficult for residents to pay in stores and pharmacies, and even call a taxi. Some cafes in Krasnodar also lacked Wi-Fi due to the outage.
As the days passed, the situation remained unchanged. On August 9, the mobile internet in Krasnodar was still down, leaving residents in a state of uncertainty. It wasn't until August 10 that the services were restored, but no information was provided regarding the resolution or the estimated time for the return of mobile internet.
The circumstances surrounding the outage remain unclear. While there were confirmed Ukrainian drone attacks on August 7-8, 2025, targeting an oil refinery and military infrastructure in Krasnodar Krai, there is no confirmed public report linking these attacks directly to the mobile internet outage in Krasnodar. The damage reported was mostly to oil refinery infrastructure and military sites, with no specific reference to telecommunications or mobile internet disruptions.
In a separate development, Veniamin Kondratyev, Governor of Kuban, stated that the outage was due to drone attacks. However, no official reports of drone attacks in any other regions of Russia have been made.
In a bid to prevent such incidents, authorities in Stavropol have announced plans to slow down mobile internet during 'Drone Danger' signals. However, it is unclear if this is related to the incidents in Krasnodar.
During the mobile internet outage, residents were left with little choice but to flag down a "private" car on the street or wait for public transportation. One resident, who needed to get to the railway station at night, found no cars available in popular taxi apps.
As the mystery surrounding the mobile internet outage in Krasnodar continues, residents hope for a swift resolution and a return to normalcy.
