Ukrainian drones struck a Yandex data center in Russia's Vladimir region, marking the third such attack on the company's infrastructure, according to multiple reports. Yandex confirmed the facility was shut down following the drone attack. The strikes occurred despite a warning from former U.S. President Donald Trump, though the exact nature of his warning was not detailed in the source. The attacks disrupted services at the data hub, which is associated with Yandex, often referred to as "Russia's Google." The incident coincides with Kyiv pushing back on Trump's call for a new Ukrainian president. The reports come from BBC, ABC News, Reuters, Ars Technica, and Bloomberg, highlighting the ongoing targeting of Russian digital infrastructure amid the broader conflict.
