Summary

On October 19, 2026, Russian forces launched an attack using FP-9 missiles and drones that destroyed the Datagroup data centre in Kyiv, rendering the facility and its infrastructure beyond repair. The strike, which was part of a broader offensive that also targeted the Fire Point logistics hub, the Khimvolokno company, a railway depot, and the Planeta Plastik plant, resulted in 1 person killed and 8 people injured. While Datagroup confirmed that its own staff members were not among the casualties and that services have been shifted to backup sites, reports indicate the broader assault caused widespread damage across three districts of Kyiv.
