> Agents of the Ukrainian partisan group Atesh said they disrupted Russian military communication lines around IXcellerate, a major commercial data center operator in Moscow, to hamper air-defense coordination and help Ukrainian drones reach their targets. Atesh alleged that Russia’s Defense Ministry uses related infrastructure for military communications. The claim could not be independently verified, and neither Russian authorities nor IXcellerate publicly confirmed an impact.
