Elon Musk-owned X (formerly Twitter) suffered a major outage with users across India and some other countries reporting difficulties in accessing the social media platform, according to Downdetector.com.

According to Downdetector.com, a website performance tracking tool, more than 2,000 users in India reported issues with the platform. The number of users complaining about the issues peaked at 6:18 p.m., with 2,151 users reporting issues. The outage later ended.
