Internet access was partially restored in Myanmar on Sunday, Netblocks reported, as a nationwide web and social media blockade failed to curb public outrage and massive protests against the military coup that ousted elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi.

“Partial restoration of internet connectivity confirmed in #Myanmar from 2 PM local time on multiple providers following information blackout,” the internet monitoring service said on Twitter, adding that social media platforms remained blocked.

More details shortly.
