Ukraine’s Air Force says an air-raid alert application was apparently hacked, causing users to receive a false warning about a radiation threat.
Authorities said there was no radiation danger and advised the public to remain calm. People were also urged to obtain updates through official channels rather than relying on the misleading notification.
The incident affected the application used to provide air-raid information in Ukraine. The available information does not establish who was responsible for the apparent hack or explain how the false alert was issued.
Officials have not indicated that a genuine radiation emergency occurred. The latest advice is for the public to follow verified official communications while the situation is clarified.
