Russia strikes Kyiv data centre twice, wounding two children and an adult

On Sunday, Russia struck a data centre in Kyiv twice, wounding two children and an adult, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Russia also hit the headquarters of Kyivstar, Ukraine's largest mobile operator, and a data centre belonging to Vodafone Ukraine. These attacks are part of a broader campaign against Ukrainian data centres and telecommunications infrastructure, causing internet outages for about 100,000 households in Kyiv. Ukrainian officials say Russia aims to disrupt life-saving information flows. Poland has opened an investigation into an arson attack on a Starlink station, suspecting Russian involvement.
