A cruise missile attack on a Ukrainian military base housing foreign fighters was launched after Russian forces hacked into phones used by British personnel, security sources have claimed.
At least 35 people were killed in the strike on the Yavoriv training base near the Polish border last Sunday, with unconfirmed reports that former British soldiers were among the dead and wounded.
Now the security sources believe the guided missiles – around 30 in total – were fired at the base containing 600 foreign volunteers after phones used by the Britons were compromised by the Russians.

Pretty good work, if true. Yet another reason to be paranoid about your phone. Putin maintains a stable of hackers who may have contributed to his $200b fortune. Anyone who is downloading apps from random websites and installing them should think twice.
That’s funny, I heard someone left their geolocation on when they posted to Reddit. Which is more likely, I ask you.
I guess British phones weren’t on the list of 17 sites that Biden told Putin not to hack.
ET, Don't phone home!
I don’t think it was a secret that there was a military base at Yavoriv. What surprsises me is that the Russians took two weeks to hit it. But, recently, it was being used by American forces - the Florida National Guard(!) was training there - so perhaps the Russians waited to make sure they had time to pull out?
There have been hints that a number of the Russian generals who were killed were identified and located through the NSA hacking into unsecured mobile phones and then passing that information on to the Ukes so they could target them.
Not for the first time, your phone could betray you.

Quite probable. It’s always the higher ups that think they’re untouchable.
If true, did The Puzzle Palace get an Executive Order from mash potatoe brains?
“Could be Daily Propaganda”
Believable, this time:
“Hey Guys, I’ve finally made it into Ukraine to fight the war for Soros, the DNC, the Deep State, the WEF, and Zuckerberg. Conditions are a bit sparse here and we’re training with brooms. But they say ‘hold tight, help is on the way’. Anyway, wait, I hear something, a whistle getting louder, oh no...”
Always use a burner phone when traveling internationally.
Mobile communication with cellular devices is possible because of Signaling System Number 7 which is unencrypted.
Each active cellular device has one or more unique ID numbers which can be tracked anywhere in the world. No hacking required.
Yup.
Dopey foreign legions taking selfies inside a war zone.
Program your cruise missiles to find and destroy those cell phones.
Press launch
Thrill seekers, in their Patagonia jackets.
“Dopey foreign legions taking selfies inside a war zone.”
Exactly. And then texting the photos back home.
“Look at me, love. Made it to Ukraine!”
