Zelensky says Russia has widened attacks to hit Ukraine's data centres
Zelensky says Russian strikes are now hitting Ukrainian data centres and internet providers, causing outages.
President Zelensky said Russia has expanded strikes to Ukrainian data centres and internet providers to disrupt civilian connectivity. A drone hit Kyiv's Inkom business centre, killing four and damaging a Datagroup site that the company said was still serving customers from backups; Russia claimed the site supported military intelligence. About 100,000 households lost internet earlier in the week, and Moscow said it also struck New-Telco, United DC, Kyivstar, and Parkovyi. Separately, Polish prosecutors opened an arson inquiry into a Starlink station, saying the attackers may have acted for Russian special services.
