According to The Kyiv Independent, the outage affected Ukrainian troops who rely on Starlink terminals, citing a Telegram message from the military saying Starlink is down across the entire front. The military now says its connections are back online after going down for about 150 minutes, “the longest in the war.”

Since Thursday's outage, a few Starlink users have reported faster speeds, raising speculation that the outage happened while SpaceX was trying to upgrade its network.

Elon Musk-run SpaceX's Starlink satellite-powered internet services faced an outage on a global scale, but the company has fixed it.
