Yandex announced the suspension of operations at its data center in Sasovo, Ryazan, after a drone strike caused a fire and significant damage. The company reported that some of its services may be unavailable as a result.
While there were no casualties, the attack underscores the increasing frequency of Ukrainian strikes on Russian infrastructure, which have included energy facilities and retail operations. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has indicated a strategic focus on targeting Russian oil refineries to undermine the war effort.
This incident not only affects Yandex's operational capabilities but also highlights the broader implications of the conflict on the tech sector in Russia, potentially leading to further disruptions in services and impacting user access
