Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 11 Oct, 09:48 · Archive
Ukrainian drone attacks have shut down or damaged three Yandex data centers in four days, causing service outages across Russia and neighbouring countries.
Ukrainian drone attacks have damaged three data centres run by Russian technology company Yandex in four days, as Kyiv widens its campaign against infrastructure inside Russia. An attack on Sunday shut down a facility in Vladimir, east of Moscow, completely halting operations. Strikes on Thursday and Friday damaged data centres in Ryazan, southeast of Moscow, and Kaluga, southwest of Moscow, respectively.
Yandex, described as Russia's Google, operates the country's most popular search engine and provides a range of digital services including taxis and banking platforms. The attacks caused outages across dozens of Russian cities and in Kazakhstan, Belarus and Armenia, leaving users unable to access these services. Yandex said operations at the Vladimir data centre were 'completely halted' with no injuries reported.
Russia and Ukraine are locked in a long-range aerial war as their armies remain largely deadlocked on the front line more than 4½ years since Moscow's full-scale invasion. Ukraine's strikes on data centres follow Russian attacks on data hubs in Ukraine.
