On the morning of October 8, 2026 (local time), a data center operated by Yandex—a prominent Russian search engine—came under drone attack in Sasovo, Ryazan Oblast. The incident triggered a fire, leading to a complete halt in operations. This facility, part of Yandex Cloud, supports not only Yandex’s own services but also other Russian tech companies. The attack caused significant damage to critical infrastructure, and it remains unclear whether the affected equipment can be restored. Consequently, some of Yandex’s services may experience disruptions, with widespread network outages reported across Russia.
