False alerts were sent out, including a warning of radioactive radiation in the capital Kyiv, and also warnings of chemical attacks. The authorities have assured citizens that there is no real danger and have advised them not to click on links in the app. The hacking may have been done by an enemy, the air force said on Telegram. The false alerts caused some regions to sound warning sirens.",
