Overview
- SpaceX executive Lauren Dreyer said the company proactively cut service to more than 2,500 kits near suspected scam centers in Myanmar and collaborates with law enforcement, without specifying when the shutdowns occurred.
- Myanmar’s military reported seizing about 30 Starlink sets and detaining nearly 2,200 people in a raid on the KK Park compound near Myawaddy.
- Investigations documented Starlink receivers installed at large scale on the rooftops of compounds along the Myanmar–Thailand border even though the service is not licensed in either country.
- Experts and advocates say many scam sites continue operating and characterized the KK Park raid as limited in impact, with accounts of victims still being forced to defraud targets.
- U.S. oversight has intensified, including inquiries from Sen. Maggie Hassan and the Joint Economic Committee, while regional data showed Starlink rapidly becoming one of Myanmar’s most active networks this year.
