Seconds later, a Russian drone slammed into the park, killing Spichak and four others, including a 1-year-old girl.<\/p>\n<p>The attack came six days after Elon Musk&#8217;s SpaceX throttled Ukraine&#8217;s access to <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/ukraine-starlink-drone-spacex-musk-speed-restriction\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Starlink<\/a><\/span>, which Ukraine has been using to coordinate its defenses against Russian attacks and for some of its offensive operations.

But this part is quite essential for the defense of civilians in Ukraine.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>CBS News obtained photographs that show Ukraine&#8217;s ground-based air defense radars&#8217; Starlink connectivity dropping to .1 megabytes per second on Oct. 19, the day of the Kharkiv drone attack. That would not be enough to load a webpage, let alone power air defense radars, according to a source familiar with the technology who requested anonymity because he was not permitted to comment on the matter.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed__float-wrap\">\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\" data-ads=\"{\" extrawordcount=\"\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/10\/27\/48f6b482-b3ff-4b51-a4a3-81e9d8f2dbb4\/thumbnail\/620x1033\/fa5469e5050f3184581c130b3871c4e1\/link2.jpg#\" alt=\"link2.jpg \" height=\"1033\" width=\"620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/10\/27\/48f6b482-b3ff-4b51-a4a3-81e9d8f2dbb4\/thumbnail\/620x1033\/fa5469e5050f3184581c130b3871c4e1\/link2.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/10\/27\/48f6b482-b3ff-4b51-a4a3-81e9d8f2dbb4\/thumbnail\/1240x2066\/79b6fb2cdbb469eb65c30cfaa5967dc8\/link2.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">This screengrab obtained by CBS News of Ukrainain air defense radars shows Starlink connectivity throttled on Oct. 19, 2026, the day of the Kharkiv park attack.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                CBS News<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>On Saturday, Ukrainian officials confirmed that Starlink&#8217;s access had been restored across the country, with Musk admitting that SpaceX had throttled connectivity.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Using Starlink, a civilian commercial service, for offensive drone strikes to kill people has never been allowed, nor should it be,&#8221; Musk wrote on X. &#8220;Ukraine military violated Starlink terms of service and used it for offensive drone strikes to kill people. That loophole was closed last week.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ukrainian officials have also complained of connectivity problems with Starshield, SpaceX&#8217;s military-grade network, which runs on the same constellation of satellites as Starlink and serves as the backbone of Ukraine&#8217;s drone operations. But Musk said the U.S. government controlled whatever changes happened with Starshield. SpaceX did not respond to a request for comment, and the White House referred CBS News to President Trump&#8217;s comments last week, during which he told reporters that he did not order the Starlink restrictions in Ukraine.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed__float-wrap\">\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\" data-ads=\"{\" extrawordcount=\"\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/10\/27\/1ca3a7cb-73aa-4e7f-bf83-bd17f2a8a5eb\/thumbnail\/620x1082\/774206838daafeb26287281eae1a4abd\/link3.jpg#\" alt=\"link3.jpg \" height=\"1082\" width=\"620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/10\/27\/1ca3a7cb-73aa-4e7f-bf83-bd17f2a8a5eb\/thumbnail\/620x1082\/774206838daafeb26287281eae1a4abd\/link3.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/10\/27\/1ca3a7cb-73aa-4e7f-bf83-bd17f2a8a5eb\/thumbnail\/1240x2164\/243026a30706ca93b0c5c0e6a1fe39ca\/link3.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">This screengrab obtained by CBS News of Ukrainain air defense radars shows Starlink connectivity throttled on Oct. 19, 2026, the day of the Kharkiv park attack.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                CBS News<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Alina Spichak, the sister of Yulia, the make-up artist who died in the strike in Kharkiv, revisited the park where she died with CBS News on Sunday.
