CALIFORNIA: Elon Musk’s SpaceX has issued a warning that one of its Starlink satellites has gone out of control and could potentially fall to Earth.
According to reports, the satellite experienced a technical glitch that caused it to break apart, sending fragments drifting through space.
SpaceX says some of these fragments could re-enter Earth’s atmosphere in the coming weeks.
The company has advised users and relevant authorities to stay alert, though no damage or injuries have been reported so far.
SpaceX added that it is closely monitoring the situation and is working on improving safety measures to prevent similar incidents in the future.
