The incident triggered a total internet shutdown that has been in place since June 29, a move the Ethiopian government said has helped to control the situation.
Amid the shutdown across the country, only foreign diplomatic missions and embassies, government institutions and continental and regional organisations had access to the internet.
The Ethiopian government restored WIFI and broadband internet access in the early hours of Wednesday.
The Ethiopian government on Wednesday restored partial access to the internet after a total shutdown since June 29 following deadly unrest that erupted in the capital Addis Ababa and other parts of the country killing at least 239 people.
Deadly protests erupted in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, as well as various cities and towns in Ethiopia's largest Oromia Regional State during the past week, as protestors went violent following a public outrage attributed to the killing of a popular Oromo singer Hachalu Hundessa, who was killed on June 29 by unknown people in Addis Ababa.
