Ukraine's air raid alert application issued false warnings regarding a radiation threat after being compromised. Authorities confirmed there is no actual danger and urged citizens to rely exclusively on official channels.

Ukraine's air raid alert application experienced a security breach that caused it to send out false warnings regarding a radiation threat to users. The Ukrainian Air Force confirmed that the alerts were incorrect and stated that there is no actual threat to the public, advising citizens to follow official channels for information.

While Ukrainian officials blamed Russia for the incident, the Russian Emergencies Ministry also reported technical troubles. According to some reports, the ministry stated that its own mobile app suffered a 'massive cyberattack' which similarly led to the dissemination of 'false information'.
