Yandex shut down its data center in Sasovo, Ryazan, after a drone strike caused a fire Thursday, disrupting part of the infrastructure and potentially affecting some services.
The facility stopped operating entirely, while Yandex’s core services were unaffected. No one was injured, and emergency crews were responding at the site.
Ukraine has not claimed responsibility for the attack. The strike came amid Ukraine’s increased attacks on Russian infrastructure in recent months, including energy facilities.
Yandex operates Russia’s most widely used search engine and developed the region’s leading generative AI model, YandexGPT.
