Russian local officials called the incident "a provocation by supporters of the Kyiv regime."
The Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations confirmed the hack in a Telegram post, but they did not share any info on the attack or any attribution.
This is not the first time suspected Ukrainian hackers have hacked Russian radio stations. In June 2022, one such hacker hijacked Kommersant's FM radio to blast the Ukrainian anthem and anti-war songs, forcing the company to temporarily shut down its air programming and broadcast solely via the internet for a few hours.
