Several websites in Romania, including the government's official website and the Ministry of Defense website, have been hit by cyber attacks.

Authorities say the attacks were carried out by a pro-Russian group.

A series of attacks - which occur when there is a coordinated attempt to send multiple requests to a website to overload it - "targeted sites belonging to public institutions and private entities," Romania's National Cyber ​​Security Agency said in a statement.

The attacks were claimed in the Telegram by a cybercrime group called Killnet, which used Romania's support for Ukraine to justify their actions.

As a result, the target locations, including those of the border police and railways, were unavailable for several tens of minutes.

Attacks by the same group have targeted institutional countries in the United States, Estonia, Poland, the Czech Republic and NATO in recent weeks, according to the same source.
