Drones attacked Yandex’s data center in Russia’s Vladimir region on the night of October 11. The company confirmed that its operations had been completely halted, and dozens of services across the country stopped working, according to the OSINT channel Exilenova+ and monitoring channels.
Residents began reporting explosions in the region overnight. According to them, Yandex’s data center in the city of Vladimir was hit.
It has a capacity of 50 MW and is designed to accommodate 2,880 server racks. Russian authorities have not yet issued any official comments on the attack.
The first services to go offline were those used by Russians every day: the Alisa voice assistant, Yandex Music, the Telemost video conferencing service, and Yandex Home.
However, the outage turned out to be much more extensive. More than 80 key services in Yandex Cloud availability zones stopped working. These included computing and networking resources, databases and storage, AI services, including the YandexGPT API, as well as tools for developers and businesses.
Later, Yandex confirmed that the data center in Vladimir had been completely shut down due to a drone attack. According to the company, no one was injured. Earlier, Yandex Cloud had reported power supply disruptions in one of the platform’s availability zones.
Alexander Avdeyev, governor of Russia’s Vladimir region, confirmed that drones had attacked infrastructure on the outskirts of Vladimir. A fire broke out following the strike, and 5,000 residents were left without electricity after two substations were shut down. Power supply is expected to be restored using a backup system once the threat has passed.
Residents of houses closest to the attacked facility are being evacuated. According to the governor, no residential buildings were destroyed, and there have been no reports of casualties so far.
On October 8, drones attacked the company’s largest data center in Russia’s Ryazan region. A major fire broke out there; smoke was visible from several kilometers away, and Yandex services across Russia began experiencing disruptions. On the same day, the company removed data centers in four Russian regions from its maps, including the one that was attacked.
Meanwhile, Russia is striking Ukrainian data centers in an attempt to disrupt communications. Following another attack, the Omega Telecom data center in Kyiv ceased operations. Earlier, Russian forces destroyed the dline.ua data center in Kyiv, leaving it unable to operate.

The founder of Yandex was Arkady Volozh, a Khazakh Jew who now lives in Israel. Some info about him from wiki :
“In August 2023, Volozh announced that he was “totally against Russia’s barbaric invasion of Ukraine, where I, like many, have friends and relatives. I am horrified by the fact that every day bombs fly into the homes of Ukrainians.” He also stated that although he moved to Israel in 2014, he has to take his share of responsibility for Russia’s actions. By the time of his announcement, Volozh was only the second sanctioned Russian businessman to take a stance against the invasion. In January 2025, Volozh stated that it took 18 months to issue a statement on the war because he first needed to relocate 1,000 Yandex employees who wanted to leave Russia.”
I think that Yandex was absorbed fully into the putler murder gang after that and so now must be bombed to fuck.
Anything, anyone, and everything that helps the mafia state in any way whatsoever must be destroyed, killed, burned, and smashed.
“On the same day, the company removed data centers in four Russian regions from its maps, including the one that was attacked.”
That won’t stop them from being hit. Google also has maps.
The roaches are a day late and a nickel short. 😄
