The Russian state-owned railway company RZD said Wednesday that its website and mobile app were down for several hours due to a “massive” cyberattack, forcing passengers to only buy tickets at railway stations.

The Ukrainian hacktivist group IT Army claimed responsibility for the attack on its Telegram channel. “The terrorist state is heading non-stop to the station called Chaos,” the hackers said. The group’s claims could not be immediately verified.

RZD’s system was down for at least six hours, but the company said later on Wednesday that it had restored its operation despite ongoing attacks. Some of the company's online services are still unavailable due to the increased load, RZD said.
