Ukrainian drone strikes have hit Russian tech company Yandex's data centres three times this week, leading to the suspension of operations at a facility near Moscow. The attacks come as Ukraine aims to disrupt revenue sources for Russia's military efforts, with Yandex confirming damage to its sites in Vladimir, Sasovo, and Kaluga.
The escalation follows warnings from US President Donald Trump regarding Ukraine's military actions against Russian infrastructure. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that any de-escalation must be reciprocal, emphasizing the ongoing cycle of retaliatory strikes between the two nations as the conflict continues into its fifth year.
Watch for potential shifts in Yandex's operational strategies as they navigate these disruptions. The ongoing strikes may lead to increased cyber defenses and a reevaluation of data center locations. Monitor how these developments impact the tech landscape in Russia and Ukraine.
