Ukrainian drones halt Yandex data centre operations in Vladimir

A Ukrainian drone attack has halted the operation of a data centre belonging to Yandex, a Russian technology company, in the city of Vladimir, east of Moscow. According to a report by Kursors.lv, this is already the third strike on the company's infrastructure facilities within four days.

Disruption to platforms

The attack on the data centre caused widespread disruption to the operation of Yandex platforms. The source mentions thousands of users, but the available text is cut off at that point, so it gives no further detail on the scale or duration of the disruption.

Shift in targets

The publication states that Kyiv is increasingly targeting strategically important digital infrastructure deep inside Russia. Together with the two earlier strikes on Yandex facilities over the past four days, this case points to repeated attention on the company's technical base.

The source does not say whether the Russian side has commented on the incident, and it does not specify when the data centre might resume operations.
