Ukraine air force warns of potential nuclear threat after air raid alert app hacked with false notifications

Breaking

Ukraine’s air force reported late Monday that its air raid alert application was compromised, displaying false warnings of nuclear threats in Kyiv and other regions across the country for a brief period before the anomalous alerts disappeared. Officials confirmed the fraudulent nature of the warnings, with no actual radiological threat present.

Ukrainian air force representatives stated the application appeared to have been subjected to hostile interference. They reassured the public to remain calm, emphasizing there is no radiation hazard and urging citizens not to panic over the false alarms.

The incident represents a serious breach of Ukraine’s critical early-warning infrastructure during an ongoing conflict, raising concerns about the security and reliability of civilian alert systems during military operations.
