The second Yandex data center in two days came under attack from the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Part of the infrastructure is out of order

Part of the infrastructure of the Yandex data center in Kaluga was damaged due to an attack by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Several modules are completely disabled.

The company's employees were not injured. Emergency services are currently on the scene.

Yandex noted that it is still very difficult to determine the time frame for restoring the operation of the equipment. Data centers have been called the “iron heart” of the company, since their performance is critical for services that have become part of people’s daily lives.

“Yandex teams are doing everything possible night and day to ensure the operation of services and help those affected by the incident. This is our most important task now, but, unfortunately, it is not easy,” the company admitted.

A drone attacked a data center near Ryazan the day before

This is not the first UAV attack on the Yandex data center. On October 8, a fire occurred as a result of an attack in the city of Sasovo, Ryazan region. The company said that the extent of the damage is still being assessed, and added that they cannot yet confirm the possibility of restoring the equipment.

According to IT analyst and CEO of the information and analytical agency Telecom Daily Denis Kuskov, the attack affected hundreds of companies and millions of Russians.
