#Air Alert App

Ukraine's CCD revealed that the Russian cyberattack on the Air Raid Alert app on November 1 aimed to undermine trust in the alert system through fake threat reports. The attack failed to achieve its effect.

The Spokesperson for the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine confirmed a cyberattack on the Air Raid Alert app on the night of November 1. Defense Forces operations were unaffected, and restoration is being handled by the Ministry of Digital Transformation and developers.

Late on November 1, the Air Raid Alert app stopped working due to a cyberattack. The Ministry of Digital Transformation explained how to learn about danger: via smartphone emergency alerts, sirens, Air Force channels, and the Kyiv Digital app for capital residents.

Air Force Spokesperson Yuriy Ihnat stated that false alert notifications in the «Air Raid Alert» app on November 1 were related to a hack, not a real threat. Official resources did not report any danger.

On the evening of November 1, the Air Raid Alert app broadcasted false threats of chemical and radar danger in Kyiv. The Ukrainian Air Force confirmed hostile influence on the app and refuted all false alerts.

The Ukrainian Air Force recommends using the «Air Raid Alert» app to track drone movements during massive attacks. It does not show ballistics due to the high flight speed of the missiles.

Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Koretsky announced that the Air Raid Alert app now features a map showing the approximate movement of Russian drones and missiles. It does not show the exact real-time location of targets.
