A massive wave of anonymous bomb threats swept across Ukraine on March 30, targeting hundreds of public and private institutions. The National Police of Ukraine reported receiving over a thousand false alarms, which authorities suspect to be a coordinated Information and Psychological Special Operation (PSYOP) orchestrated by the Russian Federation.
The barrage of threatening emails began around 11:00 local time, flooding the inboxes of various critical sectors. According to law enforcement officials, the perpetrators targeted state authorities, local government offices, schools, commercial enterprises, banks, and numerous other organizations across the country.
The National Police of Ukraine issued a statement detailing the scale of the incident: "On March 30, starting at 11:00, anonymous messages about the mining of buildings continue to arrive en masse at the email addresses of state authorities, local governments, educational institutions, enterprises, organizations, banks, and other institutions. As of 14:50, police units received 1,216 messages."
Bomb squads and emergency responders were immediately dispatched to inspect the targeted locations. By 18:00, authorities had successfully processed and secured 56% of the reported sites. Officials confirmed that none of the threats evaluated thus far have yielded any explosive devices or credible danger.
While the remaining locations are still undergoing rigorous security sweeps, Ukrainian police strongly suggest the synchronized hoax is a deliberate tactic by Russia aimed at sowing panic and straining the country's emergency response resources.
