Thousands of X (formerly named Twitter) users were unable to access the social media platform on Saturday. Several users reported issues with the micro-blogging site across Pakistan.
Downdetector.pk — real-time internet and social media outage and monitoring service — reported the X outage across the country around 9pm.
X users were unable to view posts on the social media site as the message "this site can't be reached" appeared whenever they tried to load it.
According to Downdetector, at least 185 reports of outage were received at 9:01pm.
Meanwhile, cyber security watchdog, NetBlocks, also confirmed the outages citing the "live metrics" which showed a new national-scale disruption to X Pakistan.
The country has been facing frequent internet and social media site outages recently, especially for a couple of months during the ongoing situation in the wake of the general election 2024.
