AUTHORITIES in Ukraine and Russia said their emergency alert apps have been targeted by cyberattacks, with Ukrainians receiving false warnings of an imminent nuclear threat.

It was not clear if the attacks were related.

Ukraine’s service, relied on for safety amid daily Russian strikes, was suspended on Sunday and later restored.

And Russian authorities said hackers had gained access to the Emergency Situations Ministry’s app yesterday and sent fake alerts.
