Internet and phone lines cut across Tigray
Internet and phone services are down across northern Tigray, including Mekelle. The monitoring group NetBlocks reported a sub-national internet shutdown, while Reuters, citing sources, said the TPLF may have cut the state-owned Ethio Telecom network to disrupt government drones. Ethiopian authorities have not commented; the private operator Safaricom is reported to be still working.
