The Internet is disabled in Syria

On the territory of Syria, the Internet is disconnected, Gazeta.ru reports with reference to The Huffington Post. According to the Renesys research company, the country in which the Civil War is going on, turned off from the World Network at 12.26 local time. "All 84 blocks of IP addresses related to Syria became inaccessible, the country was disconnected from the Internet," the Renesys blog said.

Disconnecting the Internet at the national level is unprecedented.

As experts explain, the entire Internet traffic going to the country and from the country is interrupted. Earlier, the Internet was blocked by Egypt authorities in the midst of the Arab Spring, but then it was a partial blocking that did not have a national scale.

In addition, as the Western media transmitted, Syrian activists who managed to get in touch with journalists said that the country has problems with mobile communications and the work of stationary phones.

Earlier on Thursday, the airline of Egypt and Dubai announced the temporary termination of flights to Damascus, where, according to the rebels, the route between the international airport and the Syrian capital was blocked. "The road to Damascus International Airport was closed due to the ongoing armed clashes," the Syrian Monitoring Center for Human Rights, based in London, said.
