Ukrainian drone strike hits Yandex AI data center
What happened
Ars Technica reported on October 10, 2026 that a Ukrainian drone strike hit an AI data center belonging to Yandex, often called Russia's Google. The strike disrupted several Russian services, including a dating app, a real estate aggregator, a self-publishing book platform, and the website of the country's most successful football club. The report frames it as the latest case of data centers becoming wartime targets in 2026, after Iranian drones destroyed several Amazon data centers in Bahrain and the UAE following US and Israeli strikes on Iran.
