An airstrike alert app in Ukraine appears to have been hacked, with Kiev residents receiving false reports of street fighting, a chemical attack and a radiation threat. Screenshots released by Ukrainian Telegram channels show the airstrike alert app sending messages to users in Kyiv about street fighting, a chemical attack and a radiation threat at about 10:49 p.m. local time. A minute before, a message appeared in the application in Russian: "Hello! A nuclear alert will now be declared throughout Ukraine. Don't worry, Orshnik is on his way. ".
