Sunday power outages disrupt mobile service for LMT, Tele2 and Bite customers

Power supply interruptions on Sunday morning have disrupted mobile communications for customers of all three major Latvian mobile operators — LMT, Tele2 and Bite — the companies confirmed to LETA.

Customers of Latvia's three largest mobile network operators experienced service disruptions on Sunday morning, caused by interruptions in the electricity supply.

The companies themselves confirmed to the LETA news agency that the disruptions affected "Latvijas Mobilais Telefons" (LMT), "Tele2 Latvija" and "Bite Latvija" alike. This indicates the problem was not tied to a technical fault at a single operator, but rather to a broader power outage that impacted telecom infrastructure more widely.

The operators have acknowledged the situation, but no further details have yet been provided regarding the geographic scope of the disruption, the number of affected customers, or when services are expected to be fully restored.
