Employees of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of Ukraine carried out a cyber attack on a Russian enterprise engaged in the development of nuclear weapons. This was done to obtain useful information for Ukraine. This was stated by the GUR representative Yevhen Yerin during a telethon.

«This is one of the powerful enterprises that was a developer of nuclear munitions. Disruptions in its work are a blow to both the structure of the enterprise and the image of Russia as an aggressor», - Yerin said.

As a result of the cyber attack, a significant amount of information was obtained.

«This is a variety of information, including personal data of employees, official information, as well as information that will help circumvent sanctions. We are studying and analyzing this information and will use it in the interests of Ukraine's success», - reported the GUR representative.

Earlier, Ukrainian hackers carried out a massive cyber attack on the Bank of Russia and other financial institutions. The central bank's resources are operating intermittently, and banks such as Zenit, Gazprombank, and some internet providers have also fallen victim to attacks.

The cyber attack on Russia's banking sector continues, with brokerage applications and ATMs particularly infected. This hacker attack began on July 23 and was carried out by GUR employees. Among the affected banks were Alfa-Bank, Sberbank, Raiffeisen Bank, VTB Bank, RSHB Bank, Rosbank, Gazprombank, T-Bank, and iBank.
