Ukraine delayed the publishing of June inflation numbers and issued the data on its Facebook page after a cyber attack last week, the State Statistics Office said.

The agency was initially scheduled to release the data at 3:30 p.m. local time on Monday. Instead, it published it about half-an-hour later on Facebook, without explanation, and the office’s website wasn’t operating.
