      How did they know what device to block if they don’t know what’s being sent/recieved?

        If you provision a range of IP addresses to use specifically for the Ukrainian government, you can just cut access to all of them at once. Claiming an “outage” of 15-30 minutes would be pretty easy to do.

          I have no doubt that starlink can geolocate a client device by triangulation or trilateration.
          The article states they essentially geo-fenced the area. So when client devices entered that area, their traffic was dropped.
