I noticed last evening and it’s still the case that FlightAware is blank over Afghanistan. Sorry, I meant to add FlightRadar24 also to the list of apps that are blank with reference to flights over Afghanistan.
Could be lack of internet.

The air to ground range of ADS-B is 20 nautical miles. Should still see some if there are receivers operating in neighboring countries.

That's true! We've seen 300 miles+ range from our ADS-B receive stations so if there were aircraft in the airspace broadcasting their position, receivers outside of Afghanistan should be picking something up.
The most likely explanation is that the only aircraft in the airspace are allied forces and they are not using ADS-B, for obvious reasons.

This article has more information. Looks like all airspace over Afghanistan is uncontrolled as a result of the situation there. Airlines are avoiding the airspace.
