What happened

Vodafone experienced a national mobile voice outage lasting several hours. The government outage register records that data, text messaging and Triple Zero calls continued to work. Public reporting did not establish sabotage or a cyberattack, so this is classified as an operational failure.

When cited sources give different casualty, damage or spill figures for this event, they’re reported side by side above rather than merged into one number. See how confidence levels work.
