Agentstvo·RU · UA·about 11 hours ago
Yandex is restoring services after attacks on its datacenters, with some functions still inaccessible. The nature and origin of the attacks are unconfirmed, and the full impact remains unclear. This highlights vulnerability of critical digital infrastructure in Russia.
Ukrainian forces have conducted multiple drone strikes against Russian Yandex data centers, reportedly disabling three of six facilities and causing widespread disruption to Russian digital services. Concurrently, Russian forces struck a Kyiv data center and an Odessa-bound cargo ship. This marks a significant escalation in cyber-physical warfare targeting critical digital infrastructure by both sides.
