Kropyvnytskyi online news outlet Hrechka received bomb threats via email twice in one day, editor Anastasia Dziubak reported to the regional Institute of Mass Information representative Pavlo Lisnychenko.
The messages were similar, with the senders claiming to be “ATO veterans” and threatening to bomb various facilities – embassies, hospitals, hotels, and schools. In one of the letters that arrived to both outlets’ inboxes, the sender also offered to join his Telegram channel, which does not exist at the handle listed in the email.
The editor says they rarely take such emails seriously, but if the letter mentions objects located in Kirovohradska oblast, they pass the information to the police just in case.
