The statement further informed us that the effects of this storm are being felt on satellite and communication systems. Pakistan has limited capabilities to deal with the effects of this solar storm.
This intense storm from the sun has occurred after 22 years due to excessive solar emissions containing rays and particles.
It should be noted that Japan’s satellite was destroyed in October 2003 by magnetic waves generated by the most powerful solar storm on record, which hit the Earth’s atmosphere.
