Minnesota National Guard activated, state of emergency declared after cyberattack against St. Paul

Local, state and federal agencies are investigating a cyberattack against the City of St. Paul.

Governor Tim Walz on Tuesday announced he has activated the Minnesota National Guard to assist in the response to the attack, at the city’s request.

According to the Governor’s Office, “the magnitude and complexity of the cybersecurity incident have exceeded the city’s response capacity.”

At a news conference on Tuesday, St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter said the city has declared a local state of emergency to address the attack. The city also retained two national firms and activated its emergency operations center.

The city is also dealing with tens of thousands of people without power due to storms over the last two nights.
