Russia hits Ukraine's largest mobile provider, strikes data centres
Ukraine said the attacks hit data centers and telecom sites, with repairs underway after services were disrupted for about 100,000 households.
- On Sunday, September 27, Russia struck a Kyiv data centre twice, wounding three people including two children, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said. Russia's Defence Ministry confirmed hitting a Vodafone Ukraine facility.
- Moscow has systematically targeted Ukrainian data centres and communications infrastructure since September, disrupting service to about 100,000 households. "Rapid alerts about missile and drone threats are essential – they save lives," Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha wrote on Wednesday.
- Kyivstar reported its head office in Kyiv was struck with no casualties. "This is the beginning of a phase where, since September, they have started taking it out systematically," Anatolii Frolenkov of the 1-IX internet exchange told the Kyiv Independent.
- Former defence minister Mykhailo Fedorov announced an "Army of Robots" initiative on September 26 to invest in defence tech and scale battlefield solutions. This follows decisions to protect critical communications infrastructure.
