> Yandex said a Ukrainian drone strike hit its data center in Kaluga, completely disabling several modules and potentially disrupting some services. The company said the extent of the damage remains unclear. Its shares fell about 4% on the Moscow Exchange. The strike was the second against Yandex data centers in two days; a drone attack on its Sasovo facility in the Ryazan region caused a fire and temporarily halted operations.
