Ukrainian air force says public air raid alert app has been hacked

Nov 1 (Reuters) - ‌Ukraine's Air Force said ​late ‌on Sunday that ‌the public air raid alert ‌app had been hacked.

The app for a short time ⁠showed Kyiv ‌and other ⁠areas subject to a ​nuclear alert. But the abnormality ​later disappeared.

"The ​air ‌alert app appears ​to have ⁠been subjected ‌to enemy ​influence," ​the air force said on Telegram. "There is no radiation ‌threat! Stay calm and follow ‌our ​updates on our channel!"
