More than 90% of mobile communication base stations in Ukrainian-controlled territory are now operational.
Mobile operator Kyivstar has started to restore mobile Internet in Ukraine after a powerful hacker attack. The service is now available in the Ivano-Frankivsk region, the company announced on Thursday, December 14.
According to the operator, so far:
-
more than 90% of mobile communication base stations in Ukrainian-controlled territory became operational;
-
subscribers can use voice calls;
-
Activated Internet service at home;
-
Restoration of mobile data services has begun.
“The first region where we have restored mobile Internet is Ivano-Frankivsk,” the message said.
It is noted that services have been gradually resumed to avoid overloading the network. In some localities, short-term difficulties with the quality of communication may appear, but specialists quickly eliminate them.
Kyivstar reminds that if your SIM card is not registered in the network, you need to restart the phone or turn “airplane mode” on and off.
Earlier on Wednesday, Russian hackers from the Solntepek group claimed responsibility for the cyber attack on Kyivstar, declaring the destruction of “10 thousand computers, more than 4 thousand servers.” In this regard, Kyivstar denied the claims of Russian hackers.
We remind you that on the evening of December 13, Kyivstar announced the integration of voice communications.
