The outage, which began late in the evening, impacted multiple regions, leaving millions of users unable to access online services.
“Metrics show a major disruption to internet connectivity across Pakistan with high impact to backbone operator PTCL; overall national connectivity is down to 20% of ordinary levels,” NetBlocks said in a post on X (formerly Twitter).
