Answer:

A solar flare as it may harm satellites and aircrafts flying near poles

Step-by-step explanation:

Since solar flare is electro magnetic waves going to Earth the waves will mostly get absorbed by the north and south poles resulting in the aurora borealis, but if the solar flare is strong enough it may stop communications and engines in satellites and aircrafts and in result harming them
