  "account": "Two Russian data centers fell victim to drone strikes in a two-day span. On October 9, a drone attack crippled several modules at Yandex's largest data center in Kaluga, located in the Grabtsevo industrial park. The facility, designed as Yandex's flagship in Russia, began construction in 2022 and became operational in the second half of 2023. Covering an area of around 130,000 square meters, the center boasts a power capacity of 63 megawatts, approximately half greater than some of Yandex's other major data centers. It can house over 3,800 server racks, each capable of handling loads up to 15 kilowatts. The site supports Yandex's internal services and was also constructed to expand Yandex Cloud, including the company's fourth availability zone. Earlier, drone strikes damaged a data center in Sasovo, Russia's Ryazan region, as revealed by satellite images.",
