What the coverage shows

All five outlets frame the story as a cyberattack on emergency or alert apps linked to the end of the Kherson truce, with South China Morning Post and France 24 both emphasizing mutual accusations between Russia and Ukraine. Al Jazeera is the only outlet to foreground the truce ending in its first headline, while Fox News focuses specifically on Ukraine’s air alert system and the false radiation warning in Kyiv. The Independent alone highlights Ukraine’s statement that there was no radiation threat.
