Live: Russia and Ukraine trade blame for cyber attacks as fragile ceasefire ends
Russia and Ukraine on Monday exchanged accusations over cyberattacks, with Moscow reporting a hack of its emergency alerts app hours after Kyiv claimed its air raid warning system was compromised.
The cyber attacks come amid heightened tensions as the ceasefire in Ukraine's Kherson region ended, with both sides pointing fingers at each other for the digital intrusions. The incidents highlight the ongoing conflict's expansion into cyberspace alongside conventional warfare.
Russia reported that its emergency alerts application was compromised, while Ukraine earlier stated that its air raid warning system had been breached. These attacks potentially disrupt critical civilian infrastructure during a period of already fragile security.
The expired Kherson ceasefire, which had been scheduled to last until November 6, has raised fears of intensified military operations in the region. Both nations continue to blame each other for escalating hostilities, now extending into the digital realm.
