Given the current tensions and military exercises, and lacking additional information to make decisions on, I can't help but wonder. Deliberate top down order and denial is an option, non-state individuals hacking or doing it as an inside job is possible, but it also could have been China... and if it was then its quite interesting. If there was enough technical proof this would be a nice textbook example of an offensive cyber-warfare psy-op. It has excellent social and political plausible deniability based on established elements, puts a time relevant psy-op relevant message into a targeted area in a way that gets the message in front of many people to achieve the desired psy-op goals. Pretty impressive and well executed if this is the case.
