(CBC)Emergency service lines are back up and running after a widespread Bell telecommunications outage affected both emergency and non-emergency lines in Newfoundland and Labrador for about two hours Wednesday afternoon. At the start of the outage, Bell Aliant said in a social media post that customers may not be able to make voice calls, including to emergency services. "We are working to restore service as quickly as possible. If you require emergency assistance, please go directly to the nearest fire station, police station or hospital emergency department," the post stated.

Typically, when Russian missiles and drones are about to strike, Kyiv receives advance warning from the U. S. military. But for two nights this week, it did not – dramatically raising the risk to residents who had no time to seek shelter. “Everything was very fast,” Maksym, a local, told the Kyiv Independent newspaper. “We didn’t even understand anything.” Windows were blown out by an initial blast overnight on Tuesday, he said, after which he and his partner evacuated to their corridor, then to a bomb shelter. The two-day stoppage of early warnings raised alarm bells in Ukraine, where Russia has been increasing bombardments of power plants and, that night, hit a nine-story building in Kyiv and other civilian sites, killing five people. The lack of alerts in Kyiv was just one facet of a spate of broader restrictions on U. S. support implemented over the past week, underscoring Ukraine’s continued dependence on Washington and on Elon Musk’s SpaceX company. SpaceX operates Starlink satellites critical to Ukraine’s defense against Russia’s jet-powered drones, as well as to Ukraine’s own drone attacks against Russia.
