Ukrainian drone strikes have targeted two of Yandex's five major data centers in Sasovo and Kaluga, causing significant service disruptions for Russia's largest tech company. President Zelensky framed the attacks as 'mirror-like' responses to recent Russian strikes on Ukrainian data centers. Yandex reported that while operations at the Sasovo site are completely suspended and the Kaluga site is partially offline, no employees were injured. The strikes target infrastructure critical for search, AI development, and consumer apps, potentially forcing Russia to divert resources for repairs.
