Russia’s mysterious ‘doomsday radio station’ woke up and began to broadcast cryptic messages during Vladimir Putin’s telephone call with Donald Trump.
It’s the second time this year that the Soviet UVB-76 radio station has creaked into action amid calls between the pair.
It first began to broadcast the apparent code ‘NZhTI 89905 BLEFOPUF 4097 5573’ ahead of the White House call, before following up a few hours later with ‘NZhTI 01263 BOLTANKA 4430 9529’.
The station – known as Buzzer, Dead Hand Radio or Judgement Day Radio – has existed since the Cold War, but its purpose remains classified.
