REDMOND — A global Microsoft outage has knocked Outlook, Teams and Copilot offline for millions of people in 74 countries, with more than 130,000 problem reports at the peak and the company's first fix failing to take hold. This briefing covers what went down, why Microsoft says it is not a cyberattack, and how long the disruption has lasted.

The strike came as two days of trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi ended without a breakthrough, and as Ukraine's campaign against Russian targets continues — see our earlier coverage of Ukraine's strikes on Russian refineries.
