  "summary": "Russian internet giant Yandex has halted operations at one of its major data centers following a drone attack. The attack, which caused a fire, led to a full suspension of operations at the data center located in Russia's Ryazan region.\n\nAccording to Free Malaysia Today, Yandex confirmed that its core consumer services were unaffected by the attack and that the company was working to restore affected services. The data center is one of the facilities used by Yandex Cloud, and the company reported problems with the electricity supply at one data center zone, recommending customers use other zones.\n\nThe incident is part of an ongoing series of attacks on infrastructure, with Ukraine continuing to target Russian facilities. While details of the attack are limited, it marks one of the first confirmed major Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian data centers.",
