- Ukraine struck a Yandex data centre in what BBC calls the third attack on the Russian tech giant, with Ars Technica reporting Russia was "not ready for the data center war it started with Ukraine."
- The cumulative strikes have dealt a major blow to Russia's AI and cloud infrastructure, and Euronews reports Russian bot activity is now in "freefall."
