- Russia said its emergencies ministry’s mobile app was hit by a cyberattack, according to TASS.
- Ukraine said its air-alert system was hacked after a false radiation warning in Kyiv, and it blamed Russia for the apparent breach.
Why it matters: Ukraine’s attribution to Russia adds an interstate dimension: the single false radiation warning in Kyiv shows an immediate public-facing consequence. The reported attack on Russia’s emergencies ministry app widens the focus from Ukraine’s warning system to emergency-alert infrastructure on both sides.
