Ukrainian drone attacks hit three Yandex data centers between October 7 and 12, in Sasovo, Kaluga and Vladimir. The company acknowledged damage ranging from "severe" to "total disruption". In Russia there were internet outages, payment blocks and suspended applications. Abroad, the attacks were credited with the disappearance of thousands of disinformation bots, but later analyses showed that accounts close to MAGA and AfD grew. According to Cloudflare, the bots migrated to other Russian providers such as Radist and Selectel.
