The official websites of the Taliban, which came to power in Afghanistan after a lightning offensive last week, appeared to have disappeared from the internet on Friday at last.
It was not immediately clear whether the fault was a technical fault or something else.
The Taliban operate separate websites in Pashto, Dari, Arabic, Urdu and English. All five seemed inaccessible on Friday.
A spokeswoman for CloudFlare, which registers online the list that provides protection to Taliban sites, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The Washington Post first reported the shutdown.
