Повітряні сили ЗСУ: застосунок «Повітряна тривога» «ймовірно піддався ворожому впливу»
What happened
Ukraine's Air Force said the «Povitryana Tryvoha» (Air Alert) app has probably come under hostile interference, after it sent users false warnings of a nuclear threat on the evening of 1 November.
The app showed alerts about radiation and chemical danger and the threat of street fighting, and residents of Kyiv began receiving them.
Around 22:50 a message in Russian appeared in the app saying a nuclear alert would soon sound across Ukraine, according to Radio Svoboda.
The Air Force said there is no radiation threat and urged people to stay calm and follow its channel.
Screenshots of the app's map, posted on social media, showed markers for several types of danger appearing near Kyiv at once, LB.ua reported.
The Center for Countering Disinformation said the information on threat levels is false and urged people not to click third-party links or spread unverified claims.
The Kyiv City Military Administration said its Kyiv Digital app and the city's street alert system are working normally and will report any air raid alert.
