Drones hit Yandex data center in Vladimir, Russia, third strike on company in three days
Drones attacked a Yandex data center in Vladimir, Russia, overnight on October 11, knocking out power in Yandex Cloud's ru-central1-a zone and prompting the company to halt operations. The strike disrupted more than 80 Yandex Cloud services and widely used consumer products including Yandex Music, the Alisa voice assistant, the Telemost video calling service, and Yandex Dom (Yandex Home). It is the third reported drone attack on a Yandex data center in roughly three days, following strikes on sites in Sasovo, Ryazan Oblast, on October 8 and in Kaluga on October 9.
