Ukrainian drone strike on Yandex data center disrupts Russian digital services

Russian forces have significantly intensified aerial attacks across Ukraine, particularly targeting civilian infrastructure and residential areas in Zaporizhzhia and Kyiv, resulting in high civilian casualties. This escalation coincides with the US easing diesel sanctions on Russia, which Ukrainian President Zelenskyy has criticized as potentially funding Moscow's war efforts. Concurrently, Ukraine has defied US warnings by conducting multiple drone strikes on Russian Yandex data centers, causing widespread digital service disruptions.
