Gov. Tim Walz activated the Minnesota National Guard Tuesday to help St. Paul recover from a sophisticated cyberattack that has crippled city systems since Friday. Mayor Melvin Carter declared a state of emergency, calling it a "deliberate, coordinated digital attack" by external criminals targeting the city's infrastructure. The FBI and cybersecurity firms are investigating alongside the Guard's cyber forces.

City Wi-Fi, internal networks, and online bill payment are down, forcing some workers offline. Libraries and recreation services are also affected, though 911 remains operational. Officials won't restore services until they fully understand the breach's scope.
