📡 Ukrainian strike disables Yandex cloud zone

Yandex says its ru-central1-b availability zone is offline after a fire caused by a drone attack on its Sasovo datacenter, around 300 km southeast of Moscow. The company states operations at the site have been fully halted and told customers to use alternative recovery plans. Yandex Cloud also warned service restoration is not expected in the near term.

The incident shows kinetic pressure extending directly into Russian digital infrastructure, with immediate impact on cloud availability rather than edge services alone. For a market with fewer domestic cloud alternatives under sanctions, the loss of a single availability zone carries wider resilience and continuity implications.
