Yandex cannot yet confirm the ability to restore equipment at its Sasovo data center following the drone attack, Reuters reported, citing the company’s press service.
One of the five data centers was completely shut down after an attack caused a fire that affected part of the infrastructure.
“The extent of the damage to the infrastructure is still being assessed. We cannot yet confirm the possibility of restoring the data center equipment in Sasovo,” the statement reads.
Yandex previously reported that some services were unavailable to users and that its services were on site addressing the impact.
The data center houses two of Yandex’s three supercomputers, which it uses to train its YandexGPT artificial intelligence model.
Yandex did not report whether the equipment was damaged.

I havent heard that phrase in a while, one of my project mngrs (x-tank cmdr) used it, good one.
Former tanker and was proud to serve, wish it would have been for longer.
Got jacked up on a muddy hill in Ky on an infiltration exercise. I was going along good till I hit a trench with a barbed wire blind. Spiral fractured my ankle.
My favorite part was spinning the turret, and looking through the therma with birds in black hot, and white hot modes, I also enjoyed centering the aim on the main cannon . 😁
Things I don’t miss, waxing the halls in the middle of the night. Eating grits for breakfast in the rain. And having to shine my boots to a mirror perfection.
Fortunately, I was able to mirror shine my boots and I taught a few others how to do it. 😌
Oh, I miss the smell of diesel in the morning. It smelled like victory.😁
Everytime I smell diesel, I think of rows and rows of M1A1s coming to life.😎🍿
I used to bargain for other soldier cocoa power, because of how fortified it was.🤭
