Summary
A drone strike on October 11 shut down a Yandex data center in Vladimir, Russia, disrupting the company's services across multiple regions including Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus, and Armenia. The attack caused power supply disruptions and forced the facility to suspend operations. This was the third Yandex data center targeted within four days, following strikes on facilities in Ryazan and Kaluga oblasts on October 8 and 9. No injuries were reported. Reports attribute the attack to Ukraine as part of escalating strikes on Russian tech infrastructure, though some reports present this as a claim rather than established fact.
