Ukraine and Russia report hacking of air alarm warning apps

A Ukrainian government app that sends alerts about missile and drone attacks was hacked, spreading false information about a nuclear threat. The app warned of nuclear and chemical attacks, causing alarm across Ukraine. Ukrainian officials quickly attributed the hack to Russia, noting the messages contained errors and were in Russian. The app was restored by midnight, and many users recognized the alerts as fake, preventing widespread panic. Meanwhile, a similar Russian app also faced a cyberattack, falsely claiming Ukrainian drones were targeting Russia. The connection between the two incidents remains unclear.
