On Thursday, Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid wrote on his X (formerly Twitter) account that he has not made any official statements regarding the 48-hour shutdown of internet and phone networks in Afghanistan. He labeled the media reports quoting him as fake.
Just a day earlier, the Associated Press had published a report quoting Mujahid, stating that the internet outage in Afghanistan was due to aging fiber optic cables and technical issues. However, Mujahid has now retracted those remarks, saying he has not officially spoken about the internet shutdown
