Ukraine Cyber Attacks: There was no immediate claim of responsibility. However, Ukraine had blamed Russians for previous attacks.
Several key Ukrainian government websites were taken offline Friday, authorities said, in a sweeping cyber attack that came against the backdrop of rising tensions between Russia and Ukraine's Western allies.
"As a result of a massive cyberattack, the websites of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and a number of other government agencies are temporarily down," a foreign ministry spokesman told AFP.
The education ministry wrote on Facebook that its website was down due to a "global (cyber) attack" that had taken place overnight.
The website of the cabinet and the emergencies ministry were also targeted in the attack, with services later restored to the government site.
