The platform appeared to restore normal services within around 30 to 40 minutes, though X had not issued an official statement on the disruption at the time of reporting.
The latest incident marks another outage for the platform in recent months. X has faced multiple technical disruptions since early 2025, including outages in January and February that affected tens of thousands of users globally.
Earlier outages had prompted speculation around server issues and cyberattacks, though no cause has yet been disclosed for the latest disruption.
