Ukraine Hits Yandex Data Center and Missile Facilities in Russia

Ukraine’s military has announced attacks on a Yandex data center and facilities linked to missile fuel production in Russia. The data center, located in Kaluga, was hit by FP-1 drones, according to Fire Point, a Ukrainian defense company. The center has a 63-megawatt design capacity and is Yandex’s largest data center.

The attacks also targeted the V.P. Barmin Launch Complexes Research Institute and the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile Destruction Center in Nizhny Novgorod, as well as the Redkino Experimental Factory in Tver, which produces components for missile fuel used in Kh-55 and Kh-101 cruise missiles.

This is the latest in a series of attacks on Ukrainian data centers and digital infrastructure by Russian forces, which have been ongoing since September.
