Ukraine air raid app apparently hacked as users receive false radiation threat, Air Force says

On Sunday, Nov. 1, 2026, Ukraine's Air Force confirmed the public Air Alert app was hacked, triggering false notifications of radiation, chemical, and street-fighting threats across Kyiv and other regions.
Developed by Ajax Systems and the Digital Transformation Ministry, the app provides immediate warnings about potential Russian air strikes, a critical tool Ukrainians have relied on since the 2022 invasion.
Vinnytsia Oblast Governor Natalia Zabolotna reported the incident likely involved a phishing operation, warning users: "Cyberattack on the 'Air Alert' app. Do not click on the link in the message."
The Air Force urged the public to remain calm, stating "There is no radiation threat," and directed citizens to follow verified updates on the service's official Telegram channel.
