Russian technology company Yandex confirmed that it was forced to shut down a data center located in the city of Vladimir after it was targeted by a drone strike. The incident is the latest in a series of attacks on the company’s facilities, representing the third such strike reported in the span of one week.

These attacks occur against a backdrop of escalating tensions between Russia and Ukraine, with both nations increasingly targeting each other's technological and industrial infrastructure. While Yandex has acknowledged the operational disruption caused by the strike, the company has provided limited information regarding the extent of the damage or the specific impact on its services. The incident highlights the growing vulnerability of civilian and commercial tech infrastructure as the conflict continues to expand beyond traditional front lines. No casualties were reported in the immediate aftermath of the Vladimir strike, and authorities are currently assessing the security implications for other facilities in the region.
