Ukrainian study links Yandex drone strikes to dip in pro-Kremlin bot activity

A Ukrainian analysis (CAT-UA) reports that pro-Kremlin messaging on three of five tracked topics fell on 8 and 11 October, coinciding with drone strikes that halted two Yandex data centers. The finding is indirect and based on messaging volume, not direct attribution of bot infrastructure. If confirmed, it suggests kinetic strikes on civilian tech infrastructure can degrade Russian information operations, though the effect appears partial and temporary.
