Yandex, one of Russia’s leading internet companies, has warned that customers may experience disruption to its digital services after Ukrainian strikes on data centres.
The company, often described as “Russia’s Google”, acknowledged that the attacks had affected the infrastructure supporting its online services. It did not provide further details in the supplied material about the locations of the facilities, the extent of the damage or the services affected.
Yandex operates a search engine and a range of digital services, making the warning potentially significant for customers reliant on its platforms. The company’s statement indicates that interruptions may continue as it responds to the impact of the strikes.
No further information was provided on the timing of the attacks, the number of data centres involved or when normal service is expected to resume. The latest position is that customers should be prepared for possible disruption to Yandex’s digital services.
