Ukraine’s Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov says that the country was hit by a cyberattack that took down the websites of the foreign affairs ministry, the parliament and the cabinet of ministers.
The attack took place at around 4 p.m. local time, but all three websites were back up and running about an hour later.
Hebrew media cited an unnamed Ukrainian security official who blamed Russia for the attack.
