Original: Russia says strikes destroyed 25% of Ukraine's internet, Starlink facilities
Russia says its strikes have destroyed roughly 25% of Ukraine's internet infrastructure, including facilities linked to Elon Musk's Starlink satellite network. The claim, reported by Chinese and regional outlets, suggests Moscow is targeting communications systems alongside energy infrastructure. Ukraine has not confirmed the extent of the damage, and Starlink remains a critical connectivity lifeline for the country's military and civilians.
