Ukrainian drone strike disables Russian data center as digital sites become war targets
A Ukrainian drone hit a Russian data center on Sunday, highlighting the growing focus on digital infrastructure in the conflict.
The attack took the facility offline and follows a series of recent strikes by both sides on servers and networks. Similar operations have caused widespread outages and even reduced Russian bot traffic. Experts note that such moves echo earlier Iranian attacks on data hubs in Bahrain and the UAE, showing a broader trend of targeting civilian tech assets.
