"Coincidence raises the question": Starlink Ilon Mask switched off after attack on Sevastopol

The failure of the satellite Internet lasted about an hour and almost coincided with the blows to the Sevastopol Maritime Plant. He affected not only Ukraine but also other countries. Satellite Internet Starlink, which use the Armed Forces of Ukraine, stopped working about half an hour after the attack in Sevastopol on the night of September 13. The Ukrainian Media "Television Toronto" drew attention to this.

About 3 am the first reports of explosions in the Crimea, where the Sevastopol Maritime Factory was attacked, and at 3:33 Starlink wrote on the social network X (Twitter) about a large -scale failure in the network. At 4:39 she reported a complete recovery, but never solved the cause of the problems. Netblocks, which tracks Internet problems around the world. Her data collected in real time shows that people from different countries could not use a satellite communication for about 50 minutes.

Whether Ukraine has failed Ukraine is unknown, but the DowDector service received more than 33 thousand reports of problems only in the United States. "We cannot say that these two events - Starlink's failure and strikes one by one in the temporarily occupied Sevastopol - are connected. However, this coincidence raises questions," writes Toronto Television.

It should be recalled that recently writer Walter Eizhexon wrote in his book that in 2022 Ilon Musk ordered to secretly disconnect the Starlink network off the coast of Crimea. As a result, Ukrainian sea drones lost their connection and could not attack the Russian Fleet. According to the writer, Ilon Musk spoke with high -ranking Russian politicians and was frightened that Russia would respond with nuclear missiles.

In X (Twitter), on September 8, Ilon Musk stated that he did not order to disconnect Starlink. According to the businessman, the satellite internet has never worked off the coast of Crimea, so it is technically impossible to block in the region. A few days later, the American senator Elizabeth Warren demanded that Ilon Mask check through the Starlink scandal. She suggested that the billionaire could alone influence the US foreign policy that supports Ukraine in the war with Russia.
