Ukraine has struck a Yandex data center in Vladimir, Russia, with a drone attack that shut it down, the company said. Reports say it was the third strike on Yandex facilities in about a week; the BBC names earlier attacks at Sasovo and Kaluga. Yandex said its Vladimir data center was damaged and operations were suspended, and that it was working to restore connectivity. Kyiv said it is targeting sites that generate revenue for Moscow’s war effort, and that the attacks could force Russia to divert resources to repairs. The BBC also reports that Russian attacks on Ukraine continued over the same weekend.

How each side tells it

All sides report a Ukrainian drone strike that shut a Yandex data center in Vladimir, the third on its facilities in about a week. The left headlines frame it as Ukraine widening attacks on Russian infrastructure, while the center headline adds Trump’s warning and the word ‘again’.

    The BBC headline leads with Ukraine’s repeated strikes and adds that they came despite a Trump warning, a framing that implies defiance.
