Dec 12 (Reuters) - A cyber attack on the biggest
Ukrainian mobile operator Kyivstar affected the air raid alert
system in more than 75 settlements in the Kyiv region, the
regional military administration said on Tuesday. 
    The system did not work in such cities as Bucha and Irpin.
"There are also spot outages of the warning system in Boryspil
and in 75 other localities," it said in the statement on
Telegram messenger. 
    The administration added that alerts were duplicated by
another warning system, and police would report air hazards
through loudspeakers.
