Ukrainian Drone Strikes Damage Yandex Data Centres in Russia Amid Ongoing Conflict
Ukrainian drone strikes have targeted Russian technology infrastructure, hitting Yandex's data centres in Sasovo and Kaluga regions. The Sasovo facility, housing tens of thousands of servers and two supercomputers used for AI development, caught fire and suspended operations. The Kaluga data centre also suffered damage, disabling several modules. Yandex reported service disruptions but said main consumer services remained operational. Both sides continue long-range attacks on critical infrastructure amid ongoing conflict and diplomatic stalemate.
