Font size

Ukrainian drones have hit an important data center in Russia for the first time. The attack caused a fire in a building belonging to the technology group Yandex in Zasovo in the Ryazan region, the company announced on Thursday.

Yandex offers one of Russia's leading artificial intelligence (AI) models, YandexGPT. The company is headquartered in Moscow but operates several large data centers in the country.

The operation of the affected data center has been completely stopped, the statement said. Yandex is working on eliminating the consequences and restoring the affected services. However, the core services for consumers are not affected. On the website of its cloud service, Yandex announced that there were problems with the power supply in a certain area and that they would provide an update later in the day. According to a report by CNBC, no one was injured in the attack.

The attack on the Yandex building followed a wave of Russian attacks on Ukrainian data centers in recent weeks. Conversely, there have so far been no confirmed major drone attacks by Ukraine on Russian data centers. However, it is known, for example, that Ukraine has repeatedly attacked the warehouses of the online retailer Wildberries, which is sometimes referred to as the “Russian Amazon”.

What to Watch

AI outlook — possibilities, not facts

  • Yandex plans to release an update on the power supply later today.

    Very likely · Within hours

Open Questions

  • ?How high is the material damage to the IT infrastructure?
  • ?When will the data center be fully operational again?
