- Ukraine strikes shut Yandex data centers, disrupting Russian AI and cloud services
Ukraine launched its third drone attack on Yandex in a matter of days on Sunday morning, October 11, causing the complete shutdown of the company's data center in the Vladimir region, according to Reuters and the Kyiv Post as reported by Gizmodo. The strikes followed attacks on another data center facility in Kaluga and one in Sasovo near Moscow, which Reuters describes as housing two of the three supercomputers used to develop Yandex's AI model. Yandex's Alice voice assistant, Yandex Music and its Telemost video-conferencing service were reportedly down, while Yandex Compute Cloud saw what the Kyiv Post called extensive outages; users also reported banking and rideshare app failures, with retail apps such as Magnit and Fix Price affected. Because Yandex's data centers underpin other services, including healthcare-related cloud offerings, the outage's impact was described as widely dispersed.

On October 8, Ukrainian drones struck Yandex's data center in Sasovo, Ryazan region, Russia, sparking a fire and forcing the company to shut the facility down. The site is one of Yandex's five major data centers, hosting tens of thousands of servers plus two of its three AI supercomputers — the Nvidia A100-based Chervonenkis and Lyapunov — which have been used to train YandexGPT. Yandex has not said whether the supercomputers were damaged, but Yandex Cloud and consumer services including Mail, Disk, Pay and Market reported disruptions.
