"Sun's X-Class Flare Causes Radio Blackouts and Auroras"
TL;DR
A powerful X-class solar flare erupted from sunspot AR3738 on July 13, 2024, causing shortwave radio blackouts across Australia, Southeast Asia, and Japan. Despite the flare's intensity, it did not produce a coronal mass ejection, meaning no significant geomagnetic activity is expected.
