A Vodafone network blackout has been reported in various areas of southern Albania, causing significant problems for subscribers, particularly at a time when the south is overcrowded with holidaymakers.

Network issues have been observed in several coastal areas since 14:15, with users reporting difficulties making calls, using mobile internet and communicating through the network.

Albeu.com contacted Vodafone’s customer service department to obtain an explanation of the situation. According to the response received, the company said work is currently being carried out to improve the network.

However, the outages and service problems raise questions, as the situation appears particularly problematic in beach areas, where the number of users is very high during the tourist season.

It remains to be seen how long the problem will last and when service will return to normal for subscribers in the south of the country.

More complete information is expected to follow regarding the affected areas and the duration of the outage.

Since last midnight, a large wildfire has remained active near Palasa, engulfing a hillside. The flames have been fueled by wind and high temperatures, making it difficult to bring them under control from the ground alone.

Firefighters, police officers and protected-area staff have been deployed to the scene. They worked throughout the night to contain the blaze and prevent it from spreading to other areas.

Because of the difficult terrain and the scale of the fire, a helicopter arrived today and is working to extinguish the flames.

Authorities continue to monitor the situation, while the operation to bring the fire under control is still ongoing.
