Ukraine has conducted another drone strike targeting a data centre owned by the Russian internet company Yandex. The attack occurred at a facility in Vladimir, located over 170 kilometers east of Moscow, causing damage that temporarily suspended operations. Yandex reported on Sunday that its services were gradually being restored but remained in emergency mode. No casualties were reported, although disruptions affected users of its payment and taxi platforms in multiple regions of Russia and abroad.

The strike follows recent Ukrainian attacks on other Yandex data centres, including sites in Sassovo in the Ryazan region and in Kaluga, which were targeted on Thursday and Friday, respectively. Alexander Avdeev, governor of the Vladimir region, confirmed additional Ukrainian drone strikes had hit other local infrastructure, resulting in temporary power outages affecting approximately 5,000 residents.

In a separate incident, drone debris landed at the airport in Sochi on Russia’s Black Sea coast, according to regional civil defence authorities. No injuries were reported from the incident. Meanwhile, in the Bryansk region near the Ukrainian border, a Ukrainian drone attack killed one man and wounded two women, according to Governor Yegor Kovaltchuk.

This escalation of drone attacks on infrastructure is mirrored by Russian strikes on Ukrainian targets. On Sunday morning, the Russian Ministry of Defence reported an attack on a data centre in the port city of Odessa. Additionally, Russian forces struck the city of Dnipro in southeastern Ukraine, injuring four people, including two children aged eight.

The continued targeting of critical infrastructure on both sides underscores the intensifying nature of the conflict and its impact on civilian services and populations in the affected regions.
