HAARLEM: Elon Musk&#8217;s satellite internet service Starlink was back online for most users after a brief outage today, according to tracking website Downdetector.com.
&#8220;The number of US users reporting issues fell below 1,000 as of 5.15am, down from a peak of more than 43,000,&#8221; Downdetector said.
The platform tracks outages by collating status reports from multiple sources.
Starlink&#8217;s website reported an outage early today, without providing further details.
&#8220;Starlink is currently experiencing a service outage. Our team is investigating,&#8221; it said.
The message has since been removed.
The commander of Ukraine&#8217;s drone forces Robert Brovdi reported that the Starlink outage affected the entire frontline of the war with Russia starting at 4.28am.
&#8220;Another global outage at SpaceX,&#8221; he wrote on the Telegram messaging app, adding that the service started coming back around half an hour later.
Ukraine&#8217;s forces are heavily reliant on SpaceX&#8217;s Starlink terminals for battlefield communications and some drone operations.
More than 50,000 terminals are currently in operation in Ukraine, according to officials.
Starlink, operated by Musk&#8217;s SpaceX, provides internet services via a constellation of low-Earth orbit satellites and is widely used in remote areas and conflict zones.
SpaceX did not immediately respond to a Reuters&#8217; request for comment.
