Yandex said its Sasovo data centre was severely damaged in a drone attack overnight from October 7 to 8 and stopped operating completely. On the morning of October 9, another attack affected the company’s Kaluga data centre, taking part of its infrastructure offline. According to Yandex, no employees were injured at either site; emergency services and technical teams are working there.

The company did not identify which services were affected or quantify the lost capacity. It said the hardware assessment is continuing and that it cannot yet provide a restoration timeline.

Restoring infrastructure
