Yandex bot traffic nearly eliminated overnight after Ukraine drone strikes
Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian data centers reportedly crippled multiple facilities used by Yandex, cutting the company's bot traffic almost entirely overnight. The strikes followed intensifying attacks on Kyiv's infrastructure, with Ukraine targeting data centers tied to Russia's largest search and technology company. Observers note the outage shows how heavily Russia's disinformation and automated activity depended on that hardware, and how digital infrastructure is now a direct front in the war.
Why now: Ukraine's drone strikes on Yandex data centers caused an abrupt, dramatic collapse in bot traffic, making the story notable for both its military and information-warfare implications.
