Overview
- Rostelecom said a backbone channel in Yaroslavl region was damaged by third parties on November 15, disrupting wired service in Yaroslavl, Vladimir, Ivanovo and Kostroma.
- The company told RIA Novosti that repairs have been completed and service has been restored in the affected Central Federal District regions.
- User-complaint trackers Downdetector and Sboy.rf recorded spikes across multiple areas, with differing regional concentrations and indications that more than ten regions experienced problems overall.
- Digital Report and several outlets described selective access in which only white‑listed sites opened, a pattern they say aligns with sovereign Runet TSPU scenarios, though no public technical confirmation has been presented.
- Residents and local media reported cable television issues in some areas, and the outage was especially hard in Vladimir region where mobile internet has been shut off since mid‑August.
