BERLIN/FRANKFURT: "Germany's Enercon on Monday said a "massive disruption" of satellite connections in Europe was affecting the operations of 5,800 wind turbines in central Europe. It said the satellite connections stopped working on Thursday, knocking out remote monitoring and control of the wind turbines, which have a total capacity of 11 gigawatt.

"The exact cause of the disruption is not yet known. The communication services failed almost simultaneously with the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine," Enercon said in a statement. The company said it had no further information on who or what may have caused the disruption.

U.S.-listed satellite communications firm Viasat Inc (VSAT.O) said earlier on Monday it was investigating a suspected cyberattack that caused a partial outage in its residential broadband services in Ukraine and other European countries."

Canada Representative addressing UN: There are credible reports that Russians are using prohibited weapons…pictures one can see on social media as to what is taking place.

"Russia destroyed the world's largest plane, the Antonov AN-225 "Mriya", the Ukrainian Defense Industry reported. The legendary plane, named "Dream" in Ukrainian, was in service for more than 30 years and used to airlift humanitarian aid to countries. The plane was struck by Russian forces on Sunday while parked on an airfield near Kyiv. The Ukrainian Defense Industry said that it will be restored at the expense of Russia.

"It will cost over $3 billion to restore the plane, the restoration shall be time-consuming," the industry wrote in a statement. "Ukraine will make every effort to ensure that the aggressor state pays for these works."

The Gostomel Airport was also damaged in enemy fire, according to Euronews."
