Earlier, the region’s governor, Vladislav Shapsha, reported a drone attack on regional infrastructure that left nine people injured.

“As a result of the drone attack, part of the Yandex data center in Kaluga was damaged. Several data center modules were completely put out of service,” the statement noted.

Due to the incident, the text continues, some of the company’s services may experience disruptions. It added that there were no injuries resulting from the attack on the center. Emergency services and company specialists are working at the site.

“The full extent of the damage is currently being assessed,” the statement read.

On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine—according to President Vladimir Putin—to protect the population of Donbas from “genocide by the Kyiv regime” and to counter national security risks posed by the eastward expansion of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).

Drone attacks launched from Ukraine against military and civilian targets deep within Russian territory—particularly oil terminals, refineries, and logistics centers—have since become a regular occurrence.
