Drone strikes disrupt Yandex cloud services and data center operations
Yandex reported that drone strikes damaged data centers in Sasovo, Kaluga, and Vladimir, leading it to shut down two sites and degrade a third. Customers lost access to cloud files and other services, with some platforms partially available and Monium offline. The company said its remaining capacity was unstable, could not give a recovery timeline, and advised customers to use alternative disaster recovery options.

Let's write: EXPANDED: The damaged facilities were in Sasovo, Kaluga, and Vladimir, with incidents reported on October 8, 9, and 11. Sasovo and Vladimir ceased operations entirely, while Kaluga continued in a reduced state. Yandex said the strikes caused no injuries. Beyond search and maps, Yandex provides ride-hailing, delivery, shopping, streaming, email, storage, and business cloud infrastructure, and many Russian public and private systems depend on it. Its status page showed core services available with problems, compute, AI Studio, and security only partly usable, and Monium offline. One customer reported failed Yandex Disk downloads and missing thumbnails, alongside redirect and server errors.
