Russia’s Yandex says data centre in Vladimir shut down after drone attack

A Russian data centre operated by Yandex was shut down after being hit by a drone attack in Vladimir, east of Moscow. No injuries were reported, but several Yandex services were disrupted, and the company stated that operations were completely suspended with unstable resource configurations. This marks the third attack on Yandex data centres in a week amid ongoing escalation between Russia and Ukraine. The previous attacks included one in Kaluga, partly disabling the site, and another in Sasovo, affecting AI development infrastructure.
