Narrative:
We were cleared for the approach and approximately 6-7 mi from hestr OM, as we were about to configure for landing, we heard 'terrain, terrain.' we performed the emergency procedure and during climb the warning changed to 'whoop, whoop, pull up.' warning ceased at 3000 ft and we leveled off at 4000 ft. ATC was advised as soon as possible given radio congestion. We were given vectors around for a normal approach and landing.
