KIEV (Reuters) - Ukraine’s state security service (SBU) prevented a cyber attack on the embassy of a NATO country in Kiev, it said in a statement on Tuesday, without specifying which one.

The hackers had used information gleaned from Ukraine’s health ministry to try to launch the attack, the statement said.
