> Ukraine’s Air Force said its air raid alert app sent erroneous warnings after allegedly being hacked by Russia. Fake alerts about nuclear and chemical threats, street combat and the deployment of Russia’s Oreshnik missile were sent around Kyiv. Russia’s Emergencies Ministry later said its own app had suffered a “massive cyberattack” that spread “false information.”
