Reportan interrupciones en Facebook e Instagram, según redes de usuarios

Algunos usuarios de Facebook e Instagram reportan caídas internacionales, lo que les impide acceder a sus publicaciones, según dos organismos de vigilancia de internet y una verificación de CNN en las plataformas.

Más de 23.000 usuarios reportaron problemas con Facebook solo en Estados Unidos entre las 3:44 y las 5:02 a.m. hora de Miami de este domingo por la mañana, momento en el que la cantidad de reportes disminuyó drásticamente, dijo DownDetector, que monitorea servicios de internet.

Y al menos 18.000 reportes señalaron problemas con Instagram en Estados Unidos durante el mismo periodo, según los datos de DownDetector.

El organismo de control de Internet NetBlocks, que monitorea el acceso a Internet a nivel mundial, señaló que los usuarios de Facebook e Instagram estaban experimentando interrupciones internacionales, no relacionadas con ninguna interrupción del servicio de Internet a nivel nacional.

CNN se ha puesto en contacto con Meta, la empresa matriz de las dos plataformas de redes sociales, para obtener comentarios.

Durante la interrupción, los usuarios afectados de Facebook recibieron un mensaje de error que decía que su cuenta estaba “actualmente no disponible debido a un problema del sitio”, y se les pidió que intentaran iniciar sesión de nuevo “en unos minutos”.

WhatsApp, que también es propiedad de Meta, no pareció experimentar problemas durante la interrupción.

People trapped and injured after powerful earthquake strikes Japan

Tokyo — A major earthquake collapsed buildings and sparked fires in Japan's southwest, Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said Tuesday, with public broadcaster NHK saying at least 50 people were taken to hospitals and local emergency services saying many were left trapped inside a damaged shopping mall. A local police source told CBS News' Japanese partner network TBS there were "a lot of deaths" in the damaged mall in the city of Kashima, but that it would "take time to confirm the exact number." Video aired by NHK showed several blazes, damaged bridges, a derailed cargo train and cracked roads after the tremor at the far southern end of Japan's main Kyushu island. The broadcaster reported at least 12 collapsed houses.The quake at 4:27 p.m. (2:27 a.m. Eastern) had a magnitude of 7.1, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency, but reached the highest possible level of seven on Japan's Shindo scale of shaking. The U.S. Geological Survey measured the quake — one of hundreds that strike Japan every year — at 6.8. The vast majority cause little damage.An aerial view shows damage to the Aeon Mall in Kashima City, after an earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 7.1 struck Japan's southern Kumamoto prefecture, July 28, 2026.

"Power outages and fires are happening in some areas, and roads and bridges have been damaged and buildings collapsed."In "Kashima town, a shopping complex's second floor collapsed, leaving many people trapped inside," the fire department said in a statement. Police said earlier they had received reports of what sounded like an explosion at the Aeon Mall, but they did not publicly confirm the TBS report of multiple fatalities at the damaged retail outlet in Kashima.The Japan Meteorological Agency initially issued an alert for a possible tsunami of up to three feet, but withdrew the warning after a couple hours.An aerial view shows fire crews spraying water into a building on fire in Kumamoto, Japan, after a powerful earthquake struck the area on July 28, 2026.
