Ukraine and Russia both report cyberattacks on their emergency alert apps on the same day.
Ukraine's Air Force said its air raid alert app sent false warnings of nuclear, chemical and missile threats after apparent hacking, and Ukraine's Center for Strategic Communications blamed Russia. Hours later, Russia's Emergencies Ministry said its mobile app was hit by a massive cyberattack that spread false information. The incidents followed the end of a localized truce in Kherson.
