St. Petersburg Lifts UAV Threat as Mobile Internet Slowdowns Persist

Officials say temporary restrictions are security measures that could throttle data to 2G.

Overview

The RSChS alert at 09:08 MSK warned of a UAV over the city and possible mobile outages, and it was rescinded at 10:00 MSK.
St. Petersburg’s informatics committee says mobile internet disruptions may continue for some time despite the cancellation.
Data speeds in some districts may be limited to 2G during the ongoing restrictions.
Authorities say temporary limits are imposed by security services based on the operational situation, and operators may also restrict service for their own reasons.
Residents are directed to backup options, including 620 free regional Wi‑Fi points listed on the Svyaz47 and Cifra47 services, while voice calls, wired internet and approved white‑list services continue to operate.
