Azatutyun: The Ukrainian armed forces have launched a drone attack on the Yandex DC data center located in Russia's Ryazan region and the "Gazprom Neftkhim Salavat" oil refinery in Bashkortostan, report the Ukrainian Telegram channels Exilenova+ and Supernova+.
Astra has determined that the fire occurred at the "Sasta" machine-building plant, which also houses the Yandex DC data center. Yandex has reported "power outages" in a separate zone of the Yandex Cloud platform. The company is working to mitigate the consequences of the "incident."
According to the "Nastoyashchee Vremya" project of "Azatutyun," the company later confirmed that an "incident" occurred at its data center in Sasovo, which affected part of the infrastructure. "The situation in the area is currently under control, and there are no casualties. The team is working to eliminate the consequences of the incident and restore the services affected by it," the company told Russian RBC.
Following the attack, some Yandex services have been disrupted. The "Dozhd" television company reported that several other websites in the RuNet domain are also inaccessible, including the Postmypost automated publishing platform and the regional version of the "Komsomolskaya Pravda" newspaper.
Astra, which analyzed footage of the fire in Bashkortostan, also concluded that the fire likely started at the "Gazprom Neftkhim Salavat" oil refinery, one of the largest oil refining and petrochemical complexes in Russia.
The facility, which has previously been targeted by Ukrainian attacks and subsequently ceased operations, is located about 1400 kilometers from the Ukrainian border.
The Exilenova+ Telegram channel, citing local residents, also reports explosions that occurred in Sterlitamak.
The Russian Ministry of Defense has reported that it has shot down 399 Ukrainian drones over the regions of Belgorod, Bryansk, Volgograd, Voronezh, Kursk, Lipetsk, Oryol, Orenburg, Penza, Rostov, Ryazan, Samara, Saratov, Smolensk, Tambov, Tula, and Ulyanovsk, as well as in the Moscow region, Bashkortostan, the annexed Crimea, Tatarstan, and the Black Sea.
