Elon Musk's SpaceX satellite internet service, Starlink, has announced that it will comply with a recent order from Brazil's Supreme Court to block access to Musk's social media platform, "X", in the country.

This combination of files pictures created on Aug. 29, 2024 shows South African businessman Elon Musk arriving at the Tenth Breakthrough Prize Ceremony at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles, California, on April 13, 2024, and the Supreme Court's Judge Alexandre de Moraes speaking during a session in Brasilia on June 18, 2024.

Ukraine's spy chief on Thursday said Kiev's forces were planning to step up their attacks on Russian infrastructure sites, following a spate of drone strikes on Russian energy facilities this year.

"The number of attacks on Russian infrastructure is likely to increase," Kyrylo Budanov, chief of Ukraine's GUR military intelligence unit, said in a social media post.

Elon Musk has unveiled the introduction of Starlink Direct-to-Phone satellites, marking a significant leap in connectivity. Through a shared video on X and SpaceX's announcement, Musk revealed the groundbreaking mission, emphasizing its impact on global communication.
