Myanmar under 'nationwide internet blackout' —monitor

YANGON —Myanmar is in the midst of a "national-scale internet blackout," a monitoring group said on Saturday, as thousands of people take to the streets to protest a coup that unseated the government on Monday.

The NetBlocks Internet Observatory said in a post on Twitter that real-time network data showed connectivity had fallen to 54% of ordinary levels and witnesses reported a shutdown of both mobile data services and Wi-Fi connections. —Reuters
