Russia strikes Kyivstar infrastructure 8 times in 10 days
Over the past 10 days, Russia has carried out eight strikes on the infrastructure of Kyivstar, Ukraine's largest mobile operator, but thanks to equipment reserves and risk-mitigation measures, the impact of these attacks on customers was zero, although the technological impact was significant, company President Oleksandr Komarov said.
In a span of just 10 days, Russia launched eight strikes on the infrastructure of Kyivstar, Ukraine's leading mobile operator, according to the company's President, Oleksandr Komarov. Despite these attacks, Kyivstar managed to maintain service for its customers, although the technological impact was substantial, Komarov stated. During the 10-day period, two data centers were completely disabled, while efforts were underway to mitigate risks and restore operations for the other two.
Komarov revealed that Russia had targeted Kyivstar's central warehouse twice, hitting it with two missiles. He noted that the company had taken precautionary measures, reducing its standard equipment inventory to $15 million, anticipating potential strikes. None of Kyivstar's employees sustained injuries during the attacks. Komarov emphasized that while the company is focused on recovering and moving forward, the situation is cyclical, involving progress and setbacks.
He acknowledged that the company's years of preparation were aimed at maximizing the gap between a crisis and infrastructure destruction.
