Yandex Cloud data center hit by drone strike, platform in emergency mode

3rd Yandex Cloud Data Center Was Hit

Yandex Cloud says its data center in Vladimir was damaged by a drone strike and is fully out of service, with no casualties. The cloud platform is in emergency mode: ru-central1-a and ru-central1-b are unavailable, and the company recommends disaster recovery plans on other platforms.

Why it matters: The strike took a Yandex Cloud data center offline and pushed the platform into emergency mode, with compute running in other availability zones but storage writes and some databases still affected.
