> A Ukrainian drone attack sparked a fire at a Yandex data center in Sasovo, Ryazan region, forcing it to halt operations; no one was injured. Yandex warned that services could be disrupted, and outages were reported across Yandex platforms and other websites. The facility sits on the grounds of the Sasta machine-tool plant and houses two of Yandex’s three supercomputers. It remains unclear whether the plant or data center was the intended target, and Ukraine has not officially commented.
