\nmoscow
\nRussia said its emergency warnings app came under a \u201cmassive cyberattack\u201d on Monday, hours after Ukraine reported a hack in an apparent exchange of blows between the foes, as their longest truce came to an end. Moscow\u2019s emergency ministry said hackers posted \u201cfalse information\u201d on the app, which is designed to warn the public of incoming drone attacks and other threats.
\nHours earlier, Ukraine said it suspected its air raid alert system had been compromised, after baseless alerts of a radiation threat appeared on the app. The cyberattacks came as the longest truce of the war, limited to Ukraine\u2019s eastern Kherson region, ended on Sunday after Russia refused the offer of an extension, according to Kyiv.
\nMoscow did not immediately say who was behind the attack on its app, while Ukraine\u2019s Centre for Strategic Communications SPRAVDI blamed the hack it suffered on Russia. The rare pause in fighting, brokered by US First Lady Melania Trump and which began early Tuesday, had enabled a humanitarian mission to the Russian-occupied city of Oleshky as the war grinds through its fifth year. \u201cThe ceasefire, which was in effect from October 27 to November 1, has ended,\u201d Ukraine\u2019s Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights, Dmytro Lubinets, said.
\nHe called the temporary truce \u201can important step in our joint humanitarian efforts\u201d with Russia. US-mediated talks between Russia and Ukraine are set to resume this month, having been effectively frozen since the United States and Israel launched joint strikes on Iran in February. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Sunday his country would stop hitting Russian oil refineries \u2013 as US counterpart Donald Trump has demanded \u2013 if Washington provided Kyiv with powerful Patriot interceptor missiles.
\nRaid alert app hack
\nKherson regional governor Oleksandr Prokudin warned local people to be particularly vigilant when the ceasefire ended and to \u201crespond immediately to warnings about Russian attacks\u201d.
\n\u201cThe Air Alarm application has probably been subjected to hostile interference,\u201d Ukraine\u2019s air force said in a message. \u201cThere is no radiation threat.\u201d Air force spokesperson Yuriy Ignat confirmed to AFP that the app had been hacked.
\nHours later, Russia\u2019s emergency ministry said its teams were working to fix a \u201cmassive cyberattack\u201d which was \u201cenabling attackers to send false information to the public\u201d.
\n\u2018Worse than before\u2019
\nRussia\u2019s full-scale invasion in February 2022 has destroyed parts of eastern and southern Ukraine, left hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians dead and forced millions to flee their homes. AFP spoke to several Kherson residents, one of whom said the ceasefire had been a \u201cbreath of fresh air\u201d.
\n\u201cWe have to use this time to get things done,\u201d said Volodymyr Omeltchenko, a 38-year-old gardener, before the truce ended.
\n\u201cWe\u2019re pruning the rose bushes for winter.\u201d Pope Leo, who had pressed Russia for a truce in Oleshky, had said he hoped the temporary pause would \u201cstrengthen the desire for dialogue and lead to new concrete peace initiatives\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
