This isn't the first time international shortwave broadcasters have increased shortwave coverage in countries where the internet has been shut down due to conflict, and I doubt it will be the last. During the 2019 communications blackout in Kashmir, the BBC increased the number of broadcasts targeting that region. Old school tech to the rescue again! 🙂
