Ukraine's national bank, airport and state power company are among the targets of a huge cyber attack carried out by hackers across Europe on Tuesday.

Ukraine's deputy Prime Minister Rozenko Pavlo said he and other members of the Ukrainian Government were unable to access their computers.

Major global firms are also reporting they're under attack, including British advertising agency WPP (WPPGY), Russian oil and gas giant Rosneft and Danish shipping firm Maersk, according to CNN.

The source of the attack is not yet clear, but it is similar to WannaCry, which spread globally in May.
