Russia targets Kyiv data centers, internet nodes to paralyze Ukraine without power cuts

In a two-day campaign, Russian drone and missile strikes destroyed or damaged multiple data centers and internet connectivity nodes in Kyiv, aiming to paralyze Ukraine's digital infrastructure while avoiding widespread power outages. The strikes mark a deliberate shift to degrading communications and data services, likely to disrupt military command, government operations, and civilian morale. The extent of service disruption and the resilience of Ukraine's redundant networks remain uncertain.
