Yandex confirms third data-center shutdown after October 11 Vladimir drone strike

On October 11, 2026, Yandex updated its official notice to confirm that its Vladimir data center had been attacked overnight and shut down, with no injuries. Reuters independently reported that some Yandex services were unavailable. This is a separate third data-center disruption following the already-canonical October 8 Sasovo and October 9 Kaluga strikes. No verified damage to AI-specific equipment or measured AI-compute loss at Vladimir is established.
