The Ukrainian Armed Forces again attacked the Yandex infrastructure. A large-scale failure affected applications for taxis, cafes and shops

On the night of Sunday, October 11, drones of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) attacked infrastructure in the suburbs of Vladimir. As a result, the work of the Yandex data center was stopped, and five thousand residents were left without electricity.

At 4:11, the Yandex Cloud portal reported a power failure in the ru-central-a availability zone. Customers are encouraged to use alternative sites to recover resources.

The Yandex press service also released a statement.

According to the company, there were no casualties, but some services are unavailable to users.

Users of many services complain about the failure

Complaints about the operation of some applications and sites began to arrive at night. Thus, users had problems calling a taxi, including abroad. “In the city of Rostov-on-Don, all taxis have been completely stopped. Even local ones. A city with a population of one million – without a single taxi,” said readers of the Telegram channel “Caution, News.”

In addition, a large-scale failure affected applications for renting scooters, shops, including grocery and flower shops, gyms, and cafes. In addition, the state system in the field of veterinary medicine, VetIS, does not work.

Users also complain about the Yandex Pay application, through which they cannot access their money. “Yandex’s banking services do not work. The Yandex Pay application does not open, and I have all the money I use there,” one of the readers told Beware News.

Due to the attack of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the Vladimir region, thousands of people were left without electricity

The governor of the Vladimir region, Alexander Avdeev, said that drones attacked infrastructure in the suburbs of Vladimir, resulting in a fire. There were no casualties or destruction of residential buildings. “There was a shutdown of two substations supplying electricity to five thousand residents. Once the threat is eliminated, a connection will be made using a backup scheme. The population is being evacuated from the houses closest to the target of the attack,” he said.

An hour later, the head of the region announced that power supply had been restored by 80 percent, and heat and water supply by 100 percent.
