Russia's national airline, Aeroflot, said it had cancelled dozens of flights after pro-Ukrainian hackers claimed an attack on the carrier's IT systems. A statement from hacking group Silent Crow said it carried out the attack with the help of a Belarusian group Cyberpartisans.

The hack may have been part of a campaign to disrupt the sense of normalcy Russians have mostly enjoyed since the start of the war.

Russian airline Aeroflot cancelled nearly 50 flights on the morning of 28 July due to a malfunction in its information systems. Pro-Ukrainian hacker groups Silent Crow and Cyber Partisans BY have claimed responsibility.
