> A Ukrainian drone struck a Yandex data centre in Russia’s Vladimir region, the third facility of its kind targeted in a matter of days after attacks near Moscow and in Ryazan. Yandex said no one was hurt. The site reportedly contains key supercomputers for AI development, and the strikes have disrupted services used by millions of Russians, including ride-hailing, food delivery, cloud computing and navigation.
