KYIV, Dec 12 (Reuters) - The IT infrastructure of
Kyivstar, Ukraine's largest mobile network provider, was
"partially destroyed" by a large hacker attack on Tuesday, its
CEO Oleksandr Komarov said on national television.
    "(The attack) significantly damaged the (IT) infrastructure,
limited access, we could not counter it at the virtual level, so
we shut down Kyivstar physically to limit the enemy's access,"
Komarov said.
