The tweet of the US Army Strategic Command caused panic among the global Internet users. The agency is responsible for the country's nuclear arsenal, so consumers feared a new nuclear war would start.
The agency's message, which got posted on Twitter, contained a strange set of letters and symbols.
Users perceived this as a secret code and encrypted signal and left countless comments on the post soon after.
People came up with the initiative to hide in the bunkers.
The military soon deleted the tweet and apologized. They asked users not to pay attention to the publication, though they did not name the reason behind a strange post.
