Ukraine Expands Drone Strikes on Data Centres Owned by Russia's Yandex
The strikes disrupted major Russian websites and services, with Yandex saying several modules were disabled and damage is still being assessed.
- On Thursday, October 8, a Ukrainian drone strike hit a Yandex data center in Sasovo, Ryazan, triggering a fire that forced a temporary halt to the facility's operations.
- The Sasovo facility housed two of Yandex's three supercomputers and shares an industrial site with the Sasta machine-tool plant, reportedly linked to Russia's Iskander ballistic missile production.
- Disruptions began around 4 p.m. Thursday, affecting major Russian media outlets including RIA Novosti and Kommersant, while DONATE NOWAvito recorded more than 14,000 complaints during the day.
- MosTransAvto linked its ticketing system suspension to the data center outage, estimating restoration could take up to 24 hours, while Russian Railways acknowledged that "some users" faced access difficulties.
- Yandex confirmed the attack affected "part of its infrastructure," following reports that the company had blurred its four Cloud data centers located in Mytishchi, Sasovo, Kaluga, and Vladimir.
