Royal Mail said it’s working with Britain’s cyber-security agencies to resolve an incident that has effectively halted overseas postal and parcel deliveries.

The UK business warned Wednesday that people should hold off on posting export items after a cyber incident triggered “severe service disruption,” rendering it unable to dispatch to international locations. A spokesman said Thursday that the situation has yet to be resolved.
