People living in the east of Russia have once again been targeted in a television and radio hack, apparently suggesting they had been subject to a nuclear attack.
It is the third time media stations in the country have broadcast hoax warnings in just over two weeks.
Today’s message, however, included a chilling new detail – an instruction for those listening to ‘take potassium iodide pills’, which are typically used in radiation emergencies.
‘Seal the premises. Use gas masks of all types. In the absence of gas masks, use cotton-gauze bandages.’
Screens also flashed up with a black and yellow radiation warning sign and a message saying: ‘Everyone immediately to shelter.’

Ha! Someone did the same thing here
Someone created a fictional story about a US President being a Russian spy, hacked it into an oppositional network in the US Government, and the USA spent 3 years in a coup and attempted overthrow of an elected President.
Well, the Russians love making nuclear threats all the time so maybe it’s good to remind them that it can be THEIR cities that get atomized, too.
This particular hack appears to be rather amateurish, meaning it was probably done by a teenage Russian out to have some fun to see what he could get away with.
Russian hackers are Da Bomb!
It has been a long cold winter in Siberia.
Those teenage hackers gotta have some fun!
Or the CIA. US Intelligence is amateurish enough to be engaged in such activities. Talk about keystone spooks, check their Nordstream fiasco.
It’s possible the CIA was responsible but it’s highly unlikely in my opinion, despite the criticism the US has some of the best cyber warriors in the world on par with any country in the world.
The Nord Stream issue is a totally different topic, I’m speaking specifically about a cyber information war being carried out thru hackers, etc.
Meanwhile, Avdivka is a developing encirclement, another cauldron in the making? Expect more with the fall of Artyomovsk ( Russian name for Bakmut).

Crazy stuff.
The Russian name for Bakhmut should be ‘Pyrrhia’.
Check that, would you believe “a pro Ukrainian group”? Like I say, amateurish from US to proxy to propaganda organ. Nothing DC does or is involved in surprises me anymore.
In Russia, TV lies to you as well.
