  "summary": "Data centers have become increasingly appealing targets in the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, with recent drone attacks on Russian infrastructure highlighting the vulnerability of digital infrastructure in wartime. The attacks have not only caused significant outages but have also disrupted services that civilians and businesses rely on, demonstrating the far-reaching impact of such strikes beyond the battlefield. Analysts suggest that as modern warfare increasingly blurs the lines between military and commercial infrastructure, companies must consider implementing \"reasonable self-protection measures\" to safeguard their operations.",
