Russia cuts mobile internet in Moscow, citing drone security concerns

From the creator

Russia has begun rolling mobile internet shutdowns in Moscow and other cities, which authorities say is to counter drone threats. The measures come ahead of the annual 9 May Victory Day parade, which has been scaled down this year with no tanks or military hardware on Red Square due to security concerns. Residential buildings in the capital have been struck by Ukrainian drones in recent days despite air defences, and mobile outages have disrupted couriers, drivers and small businesses reliant on payment terminals.
