  "account": "On October 8, a drone attack on a sanctioned Russian machine-tool plant near Sasovo forced Yandex to shut down its data center, according to Russian media. The fire from the attack hit part of the data center, causing a widespread power failure, as reported by Ukrainian outlet Exilenova+. The site, located on the grounds of the Sasta plant, is a target of Russia's ongoing strikes on data centers in Kyiv to disrupt Ukraine's internet and online services. Yandex warned that some services may be unavailable while its core services remained operational and no casualties were reported. The plant, which makes precision machine tools, is a key supplier to Russia's military. Ukraine's Defense Forces claimed responsibility for the strike, though no Ukrainian official has officially confirmed it. The plant and data center were both under US, UK, and Ukrainian sanctions as of the attack.",
