Overview

• All major telecom providers in Spain, including Movistar, Orange, Vodafone, Digimobil, and O2, experienced widespread outages early Tuesday morning.
• The disruption began after scheduled network upgrades by Telefónica caused failures in voice, internet, and emergency call systems.
• Emergency service numbers, including the critical 112 line, were initially inoperative in several regions but have since been partially restored.
• The outage follows a significant power blackout in late April, highlighting vulnerabilities in Spain’s interconnected infrastructure.
• Spain’s Ministry for Digital Transformation is monitoring the situation closely and has demanded clear timelines for full service restoration.
