Ukraine has struck another data centre belonging to Russian internet company Yandex, causing damage to infrastructure in Vladimir, a city more than 170 kilometers east of Moscow. The company reported that its services were gradually returning to normal, yet remained in emergency mode. No casualties were reported. Reports indicate that individuals in several Russian regions and abroad are encountering difficulties using Yandex's payment or taxi services.
The Ukrainian drones targeted Yandex's sites in Sassovo, Ryazan region, and Kaluga on Thursday and Friday. Governor Alexander Avdeev of the Vladimir region announced on Telegram that additional infrastructure had been attacked by Ukrainian drones, leaving 5,000 residents without electricity. In Sochi, a resort town on Russia's Black Sea coast, drone debris landed on the airport grounds, with no injuries reported.
In Bryansk, a region bordering Ukraine, a man was killed and two women injured in a Ukrainian drone attack. Russia retaliated by striking Ukrainian data centers, including one in the Ukrainian port city of Odessa. In southeast Ukraine, Dnipro experienced an attack that injured four individuals, including two eight-year-olds.
