## Executive Summary
A surge in solar activity, including a major X1.1 flare, has triggered radio blackouts and warnings of an impending G3-class magnetic storm.

## Intelligence Brief
The Sun has exhibited increased activity, releasing 17 flares within a 24-hour period. This includes an M5.8 solar flare and a major X1.1 flare that erupted at 20:50 UTC.


These events have already caused a radio blackout over North America. Coverage from NASA Science, India Today, and AKIpress News Agency emphasizes the volatility of these eruptions.


While one radiation storm warning was issued and subsequently canceled, reports indicate the Sun has returned to dangerous activity levels. Attention is now focused on July 2, when a strong G3-class magnetic storm is expected to hit Earth.
