  "account": "In a recent Ukrainian drone strike, a massive data center in Kaluga, Russia, suffered significant damage, with multiple modules taken out of service. Located within the Grabtsevo industrial park, the facility, designed as the largest in Russia, spans an impressive 1.4 million square feet. The attack, while the intention remains unconfirmed, targeted the sprawling complex that houses Yandex's internal services. With its 63-megawatt power capacity, the data center is larger than some of Yandex's other facilities. The Kaluga data center, operational since late 2023, consists of over 3,800 server racks, fueling speculation about its targeted status. While the incident's impact on daily life for Russians remains unclear, the previous attack on a Yandex data center in Sasovo also disrupted services like Mail, Disk, Documents, Pay, and Market. Russian state media confirmed the severity of the attack, with several modules rendered inoperable. This incident adds to the growing list of assaults on digital infrastructure in both Russia and Ukraine.",
  "summary": "Following a Ukrainian drone strike on a D.C. in Sasovo, Russia, a Yandex facility in Kaluga has suffered a similar fate with multiple modules completely out of service.",
