Ukrainian defense company Fire Point said its FP-1 drones struck a Yandex data center in the Grabtsevo industrial park in Russia's Kaluga region, disabling several of its modules.
The facility, with a design capacity of 63 megawatts, is Yandex's largest data center, Fire Point said in a Telegram post.
