Ukrainian Drones Disrupt Multiple Russian Yandex Data Centres

Ukrainian Drones Disrupt Multiple Russian Yandex Data Centres

The Conversation reported on 18 October that Ukrainian forces used drones to strike several Russian data centres, including Yandex facilities, causing a sharp reduction in digital services and raising questions about the resilience of Russia's digital sovereignty push. Meduza said that on 3 October a drone attack ignited a fire at Yandex's data centre in Sasovo, Ryazan region, halting its operations and prompting a drop in the company's shares.

Reuters later noted that Ukrainian drones hit Yandex's Kaluga centre, partially disabling it, while the Moscow Times reported that a total of three Yandex sites in Russia were damaged, leading to outages of online payments, navigation and ride-hailing services across the country and neighboring states. The BBC cited analysts who found no evidence that the strikes had curbed Kremlin-linked disinformation bot networks.

摘要

The claim that Ukrainian drones hit Yandex's Kaluga data centre on October 9, 2026, partially disabling it is partially confirmed. The claim that a Ukrainian drone attack caused a fire at Yandex's data centre in Sasovo, Ryazan region on October 8, 2026, stopping its services is also partially confirmed. The claim that analysts and researchers found no evidence that recent Ukrainian attacks on Yandex data centres have reduced Kremlin-linked disinformation bots as of October 13, 2026, has not enough evidence. The claim that Ukraine has used drones to hit major Russian data centres on October 18, 2026, is partially confirmed. The claim that Ukrainian drone attacks on Yandex facilities in Sasovo, Kaluga, and Vladimir on October 12, 2026, halted operations at two sites and damaged the third is partially confirmed.
