«Mobile internet in the district is practically not working. We remind you that if an emergency arises, immediately call our duty service: 8(818)562-28-01,» advises the local administration to residents of Pinezhye.

The administration of the Kholmogorsky district confirmed to 29.RU that mobile internet may also be disconnected there.
