Poltavska Khvylia, a news website based in Poltava oblast, received three emails claiming that bombs had been planted in their office building on 30 January, founder and CEO Vitaliy Ulybin reported to Nadia Kucher, the Institute of Mass Information representative in Poltava oblast.
He said his team had received several similar emails with identical content. The letters claimed that a bomb had been planted at the building housing their editorial office and listed some other addresses unrelated to the news outlet.
“We received 5 emails, I think, from different addresses. They all said that our building had been mined. But then they listed completely random addresses,” he said.
